An animation depicts the war, showing that the death of the people was for nothing. A young Pink later discovers relics from his father's military service and death.
The aftermath of the battle is seen, and thus, Pink's mother raises him alone, which affects Pink's childhood. While Pink imagines a crowd of fans entering one of his concerts, but him receiving them in a fascist alter ego, a flashback reveals how his father was killed defending the Anzio beachhead during World War II, in Pink's infancy. Pink is a depressed rock star, whom at the beginning of the film, he appears motionless and expressionless while remembering his father.
