The narrative has the feel of an old British classic—restrained, atmospheric, and quietly devastating. The story follows young Tristan from the expulsion from his home as a teen into the trenches of France during WW1. Before he even reaches twenty, he has experienced monumental desire, betrayal, and despair, leading him to a moment of shame that will haunt him the rest of his life.
