Description Henri, Philippe and Gustave pass their days musing on the conditions in their veteran's hospital, engaging in verbal battles and plotting their escape to Indochina - or at least the poplars at the top of the hill. With gammy legs, shrapnel in the skull and agoraphobia, these cantankerous comrades may not get very far but their journey is whimsical and touching.
