Paul is a high school student who loves drawing and poetry. After graduating from high school, Paul, who loves drawing and poetry, and his classmates volunteer to join the army. After enduring rigorous training by his superiors, he goes to the battlefield, only to find himself on the Western Front, where the carnage is as gruesome as hell. Under the command of rough captain Kat, he spends his days fighting, but the battle shows no sign of abating. Kill or be killed. Paul is placed in an extreme situation and gradually loses his mind. One by one, his comrades who dreamed of returning to their hometowns, where their families awaited them, lost their lives.
