Synopsis

In November 1940, during the Battle of Britain, a duel unfolds between two ace pilots, each willing to take the match to its ultimate conclusion. Unknown to the pilots is a fate neither has considered. They crash-land in neutral Ireland, and both are captured by the Irish Defense Forces. On the truck bringing them into custody, the German pilot offers a cigarette to the Englishman. After a few seconds of surprise, he accepts. They both understand that the war is over for them.
