Der Lange Kerl plot
November 1914, the front in Flanders. In a partly destroyed aid station the wounded French soldier François is the only one left. He is lying on a cot and has an open wound in the side. Suddenly he sees the silhouette of a figure with a pointed helmet on his head looming. The inexperienced young German Friedrich was sent in front because of his gigantic stature to frighten the enemy. Slowly he steps towards the injured person. François keeps the only weapon he owns, a grenade, ready to use. Friedrich draws a revolver… Do the two young 'enemies' kill each other or does the confrontation take a different turn?
