자유, 돈, 명예를 원한 '샘'은 악마 같은 예술가 '제프리'가 던진 계약서에 서명한다. 계약은 바로 그의 피부에 타투를 새겨 '살아있는 예술품'으로 평생 전시되는 것! 퍼스트 클래스 항공권과 5성급 호텔, 그리고 톱스타급의 인기까지! 타투 하나로 180도 바뀐 인생을 즐기던 '샘'은 얼마 지나지 않아 자신이 '제프리'에게 팔아 넘긴 건 단순히 피부만이 아니라는 것을 깨닫는데…
1918. World War I rages in Europe while Erna Jensen tends to her ordinary life at home in Bramstrup, with her simple-minded son, Kalle. One day the village constable comes to enlist Kalle for military service for the German Empire – of which Southern Jutland is a part. If Erna is to save Kalle from certain death, she must follow him through thick and thin. Upon a chance meeting with a deserting solder she trades identities. Now disguised as Private Julius Rasmussen, Erna heads for the front. In her encounters with the other soldiers and in the presence of the war, unknown sides of Erna are awoken. This is the story of a woman who won’t let a war prevent her from fighting for what she loves.
