It is an apocalyptic picture of three wars presented in three stories. From WW I it is a story of a miliotary deserter, in which the cruelty of the battle-fields is moved further into the so-far peaceful hinterland (Deserters). From WW II it is a story about a law by which people justify their actions (Dominica). The third part is an image about living in the world destroyed by nuclear war (Pilgrims).
