The French plains close to the German border have been bathed in golden evening sunlight. The sky, where not a single cloud can be seen, is filled with the color of the golden-colored plains. Every now and then the shells that split the ground and explode fall close to the German trenches. October 1918 on the Western Front. The German trenches, which are being defeated, pass another day as usual and it is gradually getting dark. Hundreds of bullets hit the German trenches and the British trenches, flew back and forth and dug into the soldiers' trenches and stopped. German's trenches are filled with odorless and poisonous mustard gas. The mustard gas leaves small blisters like mustard seeds on the skin and causes burning pain and temporary blindness, as many people do without knowing. Adolph Kroeprel thinks.
Hundreds of miles away from those German trenches, about five years ago in Vienna, Austria, a boy named Adolph, whose mother and father both died, and a thin figure of about twenty-five years old, fell to the street from the small room he used to have, which could barely hold a bed and a table. As he did, he drew pictures and sold them in bars and places to earn some money to fill his stomach. He dreamed of becoming an artist since childhood and came to Vienna and asked to study at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. Suppressing his grief, he draws paintings and sits on the street looking at the wealthy Jews who are mostly in Vienna.
Adolf, who was waiting for something to escape from this situation, when the First World War started, he asked to join the Austrian army, but he was too thin to join the army, but they did not accept him. He refused to leave the country where he was born. Adolf begins to love Germany wonderfully.
Kröpel Adolf's eyes temporarily blinded by mustard gas in a bed in the Pacehawk military hospital in Germany are getting better. While there, he hears that Germany has lost and surrendered to the Allies. War changes people wonderfully. Adolf begins to think. A beautiful German nurse with sweet fingers removes the bandages from Adolf's eyes. Adolf opens Hemi's eyes. But those eyes are not the innocent Adolf before the war or the Adolf during the war. After that, many people know the story.
