Five desperate French soldiers during The Battle of the Somme shoot themselves, either by accident or with purpose, in order to be invalided back home. Having been "caught" a court-martial convenes and determines punishment to be banishment to No Mans Land with the objective of having the Germans finish them off. In the process of telling this tale each mans life is briefly explored along with their next of kin as Methilde, fiancée to one of the men, tries to determine the circumstances of her lovers death. This task is not made any easier for her due to a bout with polio as a child. Along the way she discovers the heights and depths of the human soul.
On January 6, 1917, five condemned soldiers were escorted to Bouchavesnes, at the Front in the Somme. Facing court-martial, for attempting to inflict self-mutilation and escape the horrors of the trenches during World War I, instead, the five men find themselves abandoned in the battle-scarred fields of no mans land, to meet their end by the hands of the Germans. In June 1920, even though the war is over, polio-stricken Mathilde is still seeking closure, haunted by troubling, unanswered questions regarding the fate of her beloved fiancé, Manech. Now, driven by female intuition, instinctual impulse, and blind hope, Mathilde embarks on a relentless quest for answers, in the name of love. What awaits at the end of this snail-paced investigation? Will Mathilde and Manech manage to fulfil their very long engagement?
