Baptized by Fire
World War II, Hürtgenwald. The American soldier Chester wanders
between enemy lines and wrestles with his fear.
The magnificent forest becomes a dark dreamscape of human drama, where hopelessness obscures the sky.
It is enough to stop at a clearing.
A depressing parable of our times - and a small spark of hope.
