A Great Drama of Human Emotions
A group of French soldiers, including the patrician Captain de Boeldieu and the working-class Lieutenant Maréchal, grapple with their own class differences after being captured and held in a World War I German prison camp. When the men are transferred to a high-security fortress, they must concoct a plan to escape beneath the watchful eye of aristocratic German officer von Rauffenstein, who has formed an unexpected bond with de Boeldieu.

You watch a movie and – this military, so to speak, drama was filmed almost hot on the trail – you are amazed: what kind of war is this? Honoristic French prisoners in French fervently despise their winners, in between, eating themselves, sometimes with delicacies with cognac, and entertaining themselves with amateur theater - and there should be Suffering and Deprivation - and along the way, slowly digging a tunnel for escape, using equipment found in the household stock accumulated in the living room during the captivity. The German barbarians, conscious of their cultural inadequacy, do not miss the opportunity to emphasize their respect for them, scrupulously observing all human rights and unnecessarily trying not to annoy them. In general, it looks like this inside there in Europe, the First World War is no more than a crazy quarrel with the muzzle of several annoying neighbors, an excuse without an invitation to go to the nearby – several hundred kilometers away – enemy capital. We have a war — not at all, and even without a war not so.

Having apparently watched this film and decided, probably, to understand their feelings better, German moviegoers a couple of years collectively visited France again, this time to Paris and even further.

Meeting face to face with his victim, he gets a shock. He faces the necessity of repeating the assassination. He meets Krystyna, a girl working as a barmaid in the restaurant of the "Monopol" hotel. His affection for her makes him even more aware of the senselessness of killing at the end of the war. Loyalty to the oath he took, and thus the obligation to obey the order, tips the scales. close
