Vi møter hovedpersonene først sommeren 1914, når de får nyheten om at de skal ut og kjempe for sine respektive fedreland. De er utplassert for å plaffe hverandre ned, men julaften 1914 kryper tyske, franske og britiske soldater frem fra skyttergravene, og velger i stedet å dele julebudskapet –med hverandre. Filmen er basert på faktiske begivenheter, og er grundig dokumentert i brev fra soldatene.
Caius Martius, aka Coriolanus, is an arrogant and fearsome general who has built a career on protecting Rome from its enemies.

When a riot results in his expulsion from Rome, Coriolanus seeks out his sworn enemy, Tullus Aufidius. Together, the pair vow to destroy the great city.

During a shaky 24-hour holiday truce amid the Battle of the Bulge, American Captain John Myers and a Belgian farm girl, Alina, fall in love.

FLYIN' CUT SLEEVES, completed in 1993, portrays street gang presidents in the Bronx. Their world was the streets, set against a backdrop of uprooted families, cultural alienation, drugs and violence. Neighborhood teenagers responded by organizing into street groups known to the members as "families", but labeled in the most alarming terms as violent gangs by the press. The documentation of these lives over a twenty-year period offers a remarkable perspective on life in the ghetto (spanning four generations), and the means that people devise to cope from the time that they are children to when they serve as parents and role models for a new generation.
