Summer 1944. Walter Proska is about to return to the Eastern Front when his train is blown up by partisans. Together with a scattered bunch of German soldiers, cut off from the front, he awaits certain death while the commands of his superior Willi Stehauf are becoming more and more senseless and inhuman.

While most war stories focus on the front lines, this drama captures the claustrophobic terror of soldiers stranded behind enemy lines in 1944. Survival becomes a psychological battle as senseless commands from a crumbling command structure turn former allies into unpredictable threats.
