Synopis
November 1940: during the Battle of Britain, an epic 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 forces. On the truck bringing them into custody, the German pilot offers a cigarette to the English. After a few seconds of surprise, he accepts. They understand the war is over for both of them.
