ClassicIn this existential drama—which has the feeling of a waking dream rather than a conventional
war film—four soldiers return to their senses after crash-landing in a forest behind enemy lines. Blindly
navigating their way back to their unit, they attack an isolated cabin occupied by enemy soldiers, then
apprehend a peasant woman who is tormented by the deranged young soldier assigned to guard her.
On the verge of freedom, they discover an outpost of enemy officers, and must decide whether to slip
silently past or stage a violent confrontation with their doppelgängers.
