Plot
A number of German soldiers have been taken prisoner during World War I and are incarcerated in Japan. The camp and its commander, however, have opted to not mistreat the prisoners, which contributes to a more effective imprisonment and better atmosphere for both sides. The Germans are allowed recreation and perform Beethoven's Ode To Joy in Japan. Moreover, the Germans introduce a baking tradition to their captors, but the style of the bread does stop at the prison's gates.
