Angsthase

"Angsthase"

In the winter when the world's first great war, a total war fought with vast quantities of modern weapons thanks to advances in science and technology, came to an end.

Kurt had believed that his childhood friend Jurg, who never returned from the front, was already dead. However, in the streets where revolutionary turmoil continues, he reunites with Jurg.

Jurg has lost an eye, an arm and a leg, and has lost his family and any home to return to. Kurt takes the weakened man into his home, and the two begin living together. But even though the war is over, the memories and wounds left inside Jurg have not faded.

Meals, assistance, going out, sleepless nights. Kurt's efforts to return Jurg to his pre-war life gradually transform the two into a relationship from which neither can let go of the other.
