The narrative explores a brief yet intense relationship between two young lovers, set against the backdrop of war. It delves into themes of love, sacrifice, and the impact of conflict on personal lives, as the couple navigates the uncertainty and danger that war brings. The story follows Marjorie and Leonard, who are newly engaged and ready to marry after a prolonged separation due to the war.
