David saved Sammy by joining the army, separating him from Miriam. Reunited at last, they face each other changed by everything they’ve lived through.

After David sacrificed his own freedom to save his brother Sammy by taking his place in the army, he and Miriam are finally reunited. As they recount their experiences they realise that their time apart has reshaped them both in ways neither could have imagined.
