As he searches for traces of his former life, he falls in love with the daughter of his family's doctor (Pulver). They marry, a hopeful, forlornly romantic gesture as they know he must return to the Russian front and she's unlikely to survive the collapse of their homeland. Based on a novel by Remarque, who has a small cameo role.
