Ce film nous amène à réfléchir au rôle de la mémoire et au souvenir des vétérans, mais également à l'implication des Canadiens pendant les deux grandes guerres. Comment honorer leur mémoire? Quelle fonction cette mémoire joue-t-elle dans une société? Quelle impression crée le contraste entre les images des lieux prises pendant les guerres et celles tournées 20 ans plus tard? À quoi sert ce contraste?
