SYNOPSIS

“ They called me to the 3rd North Trench. Gotta fix a phone line. Hurry up! It's blowing up everywhere. Miserable weather, Captain. Can't hear much anyway. Ears got blasted by a shell. This war’s a curse. I'm 20 and don't even have a gun.” The Earth carries all of mankind’s memories within it. But when people suffer, their pain and torment always rise to the surface. In 1916, the fields of Verdun were the theatre of unprecedented barbarism. Battered bodies, mutilated landscapes, darkened skies of despair... Amidst all this, a soldier named Julien lives through these dark times, abandoning any chance of youth and happiness. He, and the nature that surrounds him, are forever united in a common fate.
