Now it's 1945, the war's ended, and the three friends have all arrive back home. They decide to make a pact among themselves: They won't see each other until a decade later, while they go their separate ways to fulfill their hopes and dreams. Then they'll meet back up to see how well they're all doing.Now it's 1955: While they have stayed true to this promise, when they return and meet up again they find out they have essentially nothing in common anymore. Not only that, but all their dreams havenâ€™t been fulfilled.
