The film shows portraits of five former soldiers of the Wehrmacht and a hospital assistant who deserted during the Second World War. Through long interview passages, rarely interrupted by original film documents from the time of National Socialism and the post-war period, the life paths of the contemporary witnesses are traced and different motives for their decision to desert are traced.
