The story

What Is One Man’s War About?

The premise of One Man’s War without spoilers.

The film creates a dialogue between assorted found objects, the remarkably calm and often banal wartime journals of Ernst Jünger—German writer and army officer stationed in occupied Paris during World II—and authentic newsreel footage that shows the city as it truly was, juxtaposing personal reflection with historical reality.
