A tender wartime romance centered on a young Hemingway's passionate affair with a nurse, balancing the tenderness of newfound love against the shadow of war and inevitable heartbreak.

After teenage ambulance driver Ernest Hemingway takes shrapnel in the leg during World War I, he falls in love with Agnes von Kurowsky, a beautiful older nurse at the hospital where he's sent to recover. Their affair slowly blossoms, until Hemingway boldly asks Agnes to be his wife and journey to America with him.
