André Demester secretly and painfully loves Barbe, his childhood friend, accepting from her the little that she gives him. He leaves home to be a soldier in a war in a far off land. Barbarity, camaraderie and fear turn him into a warrior. As the seasons go by, Barbe, alone and wasting away, waits for the soldiers to return. Will Demester’s boundless love for Barbe save him?

A deeply melancholic and somber wartime romance. It's a haunting exploration of unrequited love and the profound toll war takes on the soul, set against a backdrop of longing and sacrifice.
