In 1942, Private Witt is a U.S. Army absconder living peacefully with the locals of a small South Pacific island. But when he is discovered, Witt is debriefed by a senior officer and returned to an active duty unit preparing for what will be the Battle of Guadalcanal which gives him an opportunity to explore nothing less than the nature of life, death, God, and courage.
A haunting, scattered reminiscence piece, where the mind is allowed to drift through its memories, and retrieve impressions of the beautiful and the hideous, the serene and the hysterical, the banal and the profound.
