War. Terrible and hateful.Ernst Greber—a German soldier—goes on leave for three weeks for the first time in two years of war.Three priceless weeks—time to live!..He leaves so that he can return to war—to a city under endless bombardment… To a city where the residents are afraid to draw a breath, where no one can ever be trusted with their thoughts and feelings, or else—execution…But these three weeks are like a whole lifetime, in which Ernst becomes a completely different person, finding love, happiness, and a brief peace… Only to return to the front and move toward another time—the time to die…
