Directed by Ernst Lubitsch
A young French soldier in World War I is overcome with guilt when he kills a German soldier who, like himself, is a musically gifted conscript, each having attended the same musical conservatory in France. The fact that the incident occurred in war does not assuage his guilt. He travels to Germany to meet the man's family.

That point of view was popular in the Interwar period (the 1932 film 'Broken Lullaby' is a perfect example).
It's an admirable attitude, but its popularity contributed to the outbreak of WWII.
