Walter Urban and Friedrich 'Fiete' Caroli are young hands on a dairy farm in northern Germany. By 1945, it seems that the war is entering its final stage. But when they are forced to 'volunteer' for the Waffen-SS, they find themselves embroiled in a desperate, bloody conflict. Walter is put to work as a driver for a supply unit, while Fiete is sent to the front. When the senseless bloodshed leads Fiete to desert, only to be captured and sentenced to death, the friends are reunited under catastrophic circumstances. In a few days the war will be over, millions of innocents will be dead, and the survivors must find a way to live with its legacy.
