Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in collaboration with the CBC and ATEC Canada.
They are the heroes of World War I--Canadian boys on their way home from Europe. Major Driscoll dreams of clean uniforms and welcoming parades; Captain Mitchell wants only to forget the horrors of the past few years; Private Gagnon, in his own cocky yet innocent way, hovers continuously on the brink of disobedience; and Sergeant Greer gets caught in the middle. All thought they had left the war behind, but habit dies hard and the fighting continues.
