Nous le connaissons tous, ce sentiment terrassant de désespoir absolu. Le chagrin d’amour n’est pas une peine d’adolescents. Peu de phases de notre vie sont à ce point écrasantes, angoissantes et paralysantes. Epaulé par son cameraman Peter Indergand, Christian Frei plonge dans les nuits exaltées de malheureux fraîchement éconduits. Des nuits empreintes de douleur et de larmes, mais aussi de veille et de créativité. L’anthropologue Helen Fisher explore les processus étonnants et complexes qui se jouent dans le cerveau des amoureux délaissés. La nature a-t-elle exagéré? Le film prospecte le difficile chemin qui mène d’une attitude obsessive et autodestructrice à un nouveau moi. Et s’incline devant l’inébranlable désir, envers et contre tout… d’amour.

Dieter Dengler, a German-born U.S. Navy pilot in squadron VA-145, is shot down in his A-1 Skyraider over Laos in February 1966, while on a combat mission. He survives the crash only to be pursued, and ultimately captured, by the Pathet Lao. Dengler is given the chance for leniency by the Province Governor if he signs a document condemning America, but he refuses. He is tortured and taken to a prison camp. There he meets fellow American military soldiers and pilots, such as Gene DeBruin and Duane W. Martin, along with Y.C., Procet, and Phisit, some of whom have been captive for years. Dengler begins planning an escape, much to the disbelief of his fellow combatants, who have been downtrodden through physical and psychological torture by the camp guards.

The film starts with invasions of India by Mughal and Turkish kings. Guru Tegh Bahadur (9th Guru of Sikhs) sacrificed his life for the human rights and freedom of religion of Kashmiri pandits. Then, Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa to counter the invading forces with martyrdom as the fundamental principle.The film depicts the First Battle of Anandpur in which Mughal General Painde khan was killed by Guru Gobind Singh. The film also depicts the Battle of Chamkaur which took place in December, 1704 CE in which 42 Sikhs (under Guru Gobind singh) fought bravely against 10 lakh mughal forces (under wazir Khan). In the battle of chamkaur,both the elder sons of Guru Gobind Singh Sahibzada Ajit Singh 18 years old and Sahibzada Jujhar Singh 14 years old were martyred.The mughals were in large number but still they failed to capture Guru Gobind Singh and hence Sikhs defeated Mughals. The Younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh Sahibzada Zorawar Singh who was 9 years old and Sahibzada Fateh Singh who was 7 years old were taken to Wazir Khan's place and were bricked up alive.
