All Quiet on the Western Front Plot 

All Quiet On The Western Front

The upcoming project is based on a World War I novel, Im Westen nichts Neues by Erich Maria Remarque who was a German veteran infantryman and a famous author. The story follows Paul and his teenager friends Albert and Muller, as they enlisted themselves in the Imperial German Army soon after the first World War begun.

It was a time when joining the army was so romanticized that there was no need to tell anyone to do so, young boys would just do it dreaming of returning as a hero in shining armor. That was the same with Paul and friends. They joined the army with hope and enthusiasm and a clear distinction between right and wrong. But everything came crumbling down when they first handedly experienced the life among the trench warfare.  

The film will not be dealing with the war itself but the impact it creates on people who are fighting in it. Not the senior officials who are posted far from the warzone in safer compounds but those who are living in the filthy conditions of the trenches and always in fear of fire and bombarding. It will also highlight how difficult if becomes for a frontline soldier who has seen things that are unspeakable, to return to a normal civilian life.
