Three war stories, far from the Front. The first two take place during the Great War, one in the summer of 1916, when allegiance still reigns, the other in the winter of 1916, when a convalescent soldier and his young cousin go for a walk in the woods. The third story, set in the present day, accompanies two young French soldiers, marked by the violence of the fighting in a distant and blurred war that no one seems to care about, during a July Fourth ball.
