In a small idyllic village on the northern French Opal Coast, four men reflect on their past. Julien, Archie, Joe, and Erwin—four men with four stories that share one common thread: their lives were shaped by their experiences during World War II. These are small stories that they remember, intimate tales of love and suffering that transcend front lines and enemy images. They also recount stories of decisive events in the war, of great battles, and triumphs of intelligence.
