ReportSynopsis
Joe, a young American soldier, is hit by a mortar shell on the last day of World War I. He lies in a hospital bed in a fate worse than death - a quadruple amputee who has lost his arms, legs, eyes, ears, mouth and nose. Unbeknown to his doctors, he remains conscious and able to think, thereby reliving his life through strange dreams and memories and unable to distinguish whether he is awake or dreaming. He remains frustrated by his situation, until one day when Joe discovers a unique way to communicate with his caregivers.

There is a brief scene where it is implied that a nurse assaults Joe. It is not graphic.

Arguably. Joe is in a permanent state of incapacitation and he is very unhappy to be kept alive.

A nurse attempts to perform a mercy kill on Joe by clamping his breathing tube. However, she is stopped by a supervisor. Joe is left to suffer in his condition.
