Synopsis

Warning: screenonline full synopses contain 'spoilers' which give away key plot points. Don't read on if you don't want to know the ending!

"Commissariat transport on the road following the advance into Austria. A drink by the wayside". Three bullock-drawn wagons, carrying large barrels, travel to camera on a rough country road. They are escorted by two Serbian soldiers wearing short capes. In a high street, four soldiers (in a variety of scruffy uniforms) drink and fill their water canteens from a drinking fountain watched by a boy. Bullock-drawn carts (without barrels) pass in the background.
