Signs of Life
Directed by Werner Herzog
Produced by Werner Herzog Filmproduktion
A bleak psychological study of three soldiers trapped in limbo, where isolation and inactivity corrode the mind and expose the fragility of sanity under wartime strain.
During World War II, three German soldiers are withdrawn from combat when one of them, Stroszek, is wounded. They are assigned to a small coastal community on the Greek island of Kos while Stroszek recuperates. The men become increasingly stir crazy in their uneventful new assignment. Stroszek eventually goes mad.
