Farmer Franz lives peacefully in an Austrian town with his wife Franziska and three young daughters. After the outbreak of World War II, he was drafted into the army for training. But the war mobilization he encountered in the barracks made him doubt the war, or the nature and purpose of the war.

So, the movie is talking about what people live for, and we really don't do enough about it.
