A somber coming-of-age story set in World War I that traces a naive village boy's brutal loss of innocence and physical sight, forcing him to find new purpose through sensory adaptation.

A teenage soldier in World War I—a simple village boy with a naive youthful dream of fame and medals—throws himself into the unknown and goes blind in the first battle, thus taking on a new job: intercepting enemy planes by listening to the air through huge metal funnels.
