In a world afflicted by darkness, death and destruction, Tamino (Joseph Kaiser) waits in suspenseful silence alongside his fellow recruits on the eve of the first global war.

In the ensuing chaos on the brink of this strategic battle he is suddenly transported to a twilight world caught between dream and nightmare where he is rescued from certain death by a trio of field nurses.
