Plot

The film depicts Henri Dunant and the founding of the Red Cross in the nineteenth century after he had witnessed the suffering of troops at the Battle of Solferino. He wins the support of the wealthy Elsa Kastner, but faces ruin and disgrace at the hands of his creditors. Decades later, after years of obscurity, he is awarded the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901.
