Young and restless Nick Adams, the only son of a domineering mother and a weak but noble doctor father, leaves his rural Michigan home to embark on an eventful cross-country journey. He is touched and affected by his encounters with a punch-drunk ex-boxer, a sympathetic telegrapher, and an alcoholic advanceman for a burlesque show. After failing to get a job as reporter in New York, he enlists in the Italian army during World War I as an ambulance driver. His camaraderie with fellow soldiers and a romance with a nurse he meets after being wounded propel him to manhood.
Essa adaptação do romance de Louis de Bernier ambienta-se em uma ilha grega durante a Segunda Guerra. Quando a Grécia é invadida, soldados italianos chegam à pequena e tranqüila Ilha de Cefalônia.

Mas ele acaba se hospedando na casa do médico da vila e, aos poucos, torna-se amigo de Pelagia (Penélope Cruz), a filha do dono da casa. Quando o namorado dela vai lutar no continente, a atração entre Pelagia e Antonio cresce. Agora, envolvido com os moradores da ilha, Antonio questiona suas razões de estar na guerra.
