Synopsis
During the final months of World War I when Bulgaria is aligned with Germany, Ivo Obrenovich, a Serbian officer, is among the inmates at a prisoner of war camp in Trnovo commanded by a Bulgarian colonel. One day, Ivo sneaks into the Colonel's garden to steal some peaches and meets the Colonel's wife, Lisa. Bored with her life and lonely for companionship, Lisa not only ignores the theft but agrees to meet with Ivo again. Lisa finds Ivo's optimism about the future a refreshing change from her husband's preoccupation with military matters. As the friendship between Ivo and Lisa blossoms into love, the Colonel's fears multiply, and he orders the prisoners evacuated. As they are being marched out of town, Ivo breaks away and races to Lisa in the hope of persuading her to run away with him. He is shot and killed by an orderly who had been instructed by the Colonel to protect the peaches in the garden from thieves.
