About this filmv
A young man goes to war with high ideals but returns home paralyzed and disillusioned with his country. He struggles to adjust to his new life and eventually becomes a prominent anti-war activist. The film moves from bright, nostalgic Americana colors to the dark, shadowy blues of a veteran's pain.
