In the German army, ambulance driver Walter Loge' is taken prisoner toward the end of World War II and shipped by boxcar to a gloomy labor camp deep in Russia.
But Loge' makes friends with nearly everyone--Germans, Romanians, Russians, soldiers, peasants, guards, and fellow prisoners. He strikes up a tune on the Russian balalaika and watches the light dance back into the eyes of a yard full of gaunt, discouraged prisoners. Near starvation, he still jokes with his captors: "Why do I want to work in the kitchen? That's where they keep the food isn't it?" He escapes from a coal mine and marches along a country road with a crowd of Russian peasant girls singing the Sunday School song, "Always Cheerful."
Loge' escapes six times, and on the seventh he manages to cross Poland and move westward toward Berlin to find his wife and three children, hoping they are still alive.
