GLORY "is adapted from Franz Morner's autobiographical novel" Paul Street Boys ", which evokes an unusually sensitive sense of the pain of young people and the meaninglessness of war. Frail Nemecsek is a lonely boy who yearns for a sense of belonging. He admires Boka, a self-sufficient and charismatic leader in a well-organized gang who wears a uniform and holds his own flag. When Butler's flag was stolen and a war broke out with another gang, this perennial outsider saw an opportunity for him to win a respected position in Butler's army.
