The story takes place on the eve of the Second World War. A woman has killed her son in protest against the war. She sacrifices her dearest possession, then, to tell the world that war is the most abominable of all. The film demonstrates how the system is incapable of understanding her motives and thus finds it easier to brand her as mad. The war breaks out and she is condemned to death.
