[2] The film depicts the life of a barber who is hired by the United States Army.

In 1944 Frank Stirn moves his family to Wisconsin to become a barber for the US Army and a prisoner-of-war camp it oversees at Fort McCoy.

Bitter that he is unable to fight because he is 4F, Frank takes a stand when a Nazi officer threatens his wife.

The film was shot in California[citation needed], and La Crosse, Wisconsin.

The U.S. and Canadian rights were acquired by Monterey Media in March 2014.
