Covering forty-eight hours in the days leading up to the Battle of the Somme in 1916, this film retells the story of war through the eyes of seventeen-year-old Billy McFarlane (Paul Nicholls). As Billy and his comrades await the signal that will send them into battle, they ponder their past and their friendships - before the horrific reality of their situation becomes clear. Written and directed by William Boyd.
