Synopsis
Six young Australians go to war, full of confidence and bravado. They land in Singapore in 1942, just in time for surrender. With 15,000 others, they are marched off to Changi prison camp. Together, the six boys survive three and a half years of incarceration. Almost sixty years later, the six prepare to get together for what may be their last hurrah.

2. Gordon's Will2001-10-2158mAs an old man, Gordon is the victim of a stroke that paralyses him down one side. His condition reminds Gordon of the time in Changi when he refused to salute Lieutenant Aso, forcing a major confrontation. Aso places Gordon on a box in the middle of the compound and tries, with a series of increasingly violent acts, to make him salute. Gordon's mates devise a plan to save their friend and make a bit on the side at the same time.
3. Private Bill2001-10-2858mOn his final day as a University Professor, Bill Dwyer is visited by a young student who looks remarkably like the girl he fell in love with before the war.

5. Eddie's Birthday2001-11-1158mOn his 78th birthday, Eddie is giving himself his traditional birthday shave, when his jaw begins to ache.

6. Pacifying the Angels2001-11-1859mFor Tom the prospect of the forthcoming reunion is a mixed blessing: He loves seeing his old mates, but hates where they take him – back to the last night of the war.
