Ty Hale, a young corporal from Lovington, New Mexico, finds himself
alone in the middle of a grain field in Normandy after being
knocked unconscious by the explosion of a German artillery shell.
Stunned from the explosion and overwhelmed by visions of the
grandfather who raised him and the simple life of the New Mexico
prairie he has left behind, Ty attempts to rejoin his unit but
instead stumbles onto a country estate and inextricably into the
lives of its inhabitants. Philippe Gaston, a former music teacher,
his stunningly beautiful daughter Renee, and Hans Heinike, a German
deserter and an accomplished musician, are attempting to carve out
a normal existence in spite of the chaos and destruction that
surrounds them. As Philippe devotes his time to his German protege,
Ty and Renee fall in love and Ty learns of the Gaston estate's
unique legacy of survival and the most recent story of violence and
sacrifice that has preserved this pristine oasis in the midst of a
raging war. The music that permeates their solitary existence,
whether it be the buzzing and chattering of insects and birds, a
violin and human voice joined in concert, or the fire of machine
guns and the distant rumble of tanks, draws these unlikely comrades
together and reveals the common humanity that resides in us all.
The war, the music, the love, and the rhythms of nature are all
timeless and eternal.
