After the politicians knew the truth, they deceived the people in order to make more people buy war bonds. , they didn't want to be seen as a hero, the 'chief' himself said that he saved himself for the sake of injury, and after returning to the country these shows made him blamed by his own conscience, and he finally told Karen after the matter was too far. Father speaks the truth.

The film uses a lot of character descriptions to tell the tragic story behind this story. When I first returned to the country, I was surrounded by thousands of flowers. Later, I found that I was not for these. The chief who wanted to return to the army found that he could not stay in this place. deceitful place.
