    François, a 21-year-old, is living in a small country that Nazi Germany has just annexed. His father, who collaborates with the fascist regime, forced him to go to German university. But François committed a first act of disobedience: he left this place that preached racial hatred. Now he is facing a Cornelian choice: to become forcibly enrolled and leave for the Russian front to fight the Allies or to become a draft dodger, buried alive in the cold and damp mines for months on end without seeing the light of day, the only hope being the Liberation.

    "Draft dodgers" is a grasping psychological drama that makes us experience the path of a young man who is depersonalized by a heavy family history, but will manage to find himself at the cost of his own life.
