After leaving his family's sheep farm in the Australian outback, a young man joins his countrymen on the western front of World War I with hopes of helping expedite an end to the bloody conflict. But as war rages on, he is forced to grapple with the brutal realities of trench warfare, including a near-constant battle to keep himself alive—without leaving another man behind. Inspired by the real-life diary entries of local ANZACs, the feature film details the untold story of some of Australia’s greatest military victories.

Dust and unrelenting dread swallow the Australian outback as young men trade pastoral quiet for the rhythmic carnage of the trenches. This visceral portrait captures the sudden, crushing loss of innocence found in the mud of the Western Front.
