Inhabiting a shed made for prisoners, the four men that coincidently come in contact with each other together give a whole new dimension to the story of the movie.
Being a part of diverse ethnicities, the four men adopt diverse ways of dealing with up the creek situation. The real war stories portrayed by the writer Laurens van der Post in two books written by him are used by the movie.
