Synopsis
In pastoral Normandy the peaceful harvest is broken by the call to colors in 1914, and Mona, a peasant girl, is left to take care of the farm for her father and brother. When the farm is confiscated by French authorities for a prison camp, Mona and her father are forced to assume a mortgage to buy additional stock. Although she despises the Germans, Mona becomes attracted to Oskar, a young prisoner who works at the farm. A French sergeant attempts to force his way into Mona's house, and Oskar, in coming to her aid, is charged with assault; at his trial, however, Mona defends the young German though she is branded as a traitor. After the Armistice, the camp is ordered cleared, but the villagers refuse to harbor the boy; then Mona's blinded brother returns from the war and shames the people with an impassioned plea for love and forgiveness.
