SONS OF WAR SYNOPSISSons of War is a film that speaks to the relationship that existed between a World War Two veteran, his son and their inability to engage in dialogue pertaining to the father's war experiences as a light tank crewman during, and following, the Battle of the Ardenne, also referred to as the Battle of the Bulge. The son, insatiably curious about the elders service and the impact of war on his father, became increasingly frustrated with his fathers refusal to discuss that time of his life. A dynamic that existed to his death in 1996. Believing the war had greatly impacted his father's post war life, the son was left to begin a quest to find answers to questions for which there may never be answers. Questions such as, how did the war influence post war relationships with others? What fears evolved within him? To what degree did the war influence the establishment of his humanity?Armed, with only his insatiable curiosity and documents that detailed the movement of the tank battalion through the Ardenne forests, the son traveled to Belgium, and on into Germany, trying desperately to grasp a sense of the time and place that profoundly influenced his father. Influences that ultimately he would inherit. At the completion of a successful journey, the son composes a letter to his deceased father. A letter that has brought clarity and understanding to a son who can better appreciate a trying and unpleasant time in another mans life. Douglas P. Andonian
