The homogeneous director will grapple with the story of John Simpson, a soldier who became a legend, and served at Gallipoli as a paramedic. According to those who survived the massacre, it was difficult for the wounded to be transported by trucks in the mountains and hills, and Simpson, despite the orders of his superiors, used a donkey named Duffy to help him carry wounded soldiers back to safe place. Simpson arrived at Gallipoli on 25th of April in 1915. He was killed four weeks later by enemy machine guns, but the donkey stayed alive and still carried a wounded soldier to the beach without his boss at his side.
