Part two of a trilogy War is an examination of human behaviour under the extreme conditions of war. Both the atrocities we are able to perform, the prize we have to pay for these atrocities - but also the hope that lies in the compassion shown under the hardest conditions imaginable. The film takes its departure together with the private soldier in World War I, who is denied his normal pattern of behaviour. If he thinks of anything else than killing and surviving - he will end up dead or insane. In this contradiction lies the trap and the moral debate. This "innocent killer" is the film's storyteller. During the film he will take on different faces. He will turn into the haunted soldier from the war in ex-Yugoslavia. And into the Dutch UN-corporal who powerless experienced the ethnic cleansing in Srebrenica. But just as important are the stories from a surviving prisoner from the German kz-camps in Norway during WW II. A story about dignity and human hope in the context of extreme conditions and brutal punishment.
