During World War II a young man lying in his death agony on the front remembers significant moments of his life connected with World War I, such as his father's coming back from war crippled and mentally disturbed and his confinement in a madhouse, a mutilated guard's relatings of his father, the fact that a leaflet exposing the very responsibles for the out breaking of the war was not taken into consideration. Thus, ignoring the warnings of life, the young soldier fell a victim prey to another preposterous war.
