Sixteen-year-old Arturs enlists to fight in World War I, dreaming about becoming a hero, but after surviving the brutalities of trench warfare and the loss of his family, he wonders if his efforts in battle were futile and if hope is only to be found in re-building a family and a home as Latvia itself is born from the atrocities of war.
