The life at a German World War II prisoner camp. Some flashbacks to the day before they leave for the war are shown; also we get a glimpse at the lives of those they left behind in England. The main drama concerns a Czech fugitive who assumes the identity of a dead British soldier.
English cinema seems to fall into either of two categories: sentimental and morbid. This film belongs to the former one, as expected. There isn't much of a plot as the main goal is to show in an almost documentary style the varieties of prisoner experience. So, it is not particularly exciting, but it is exceedingly well done and may be watched with some pleasure.
