Description:
After fighting in France, a unit of Senegalese soldiers from the French Free Army are temporarily stationed at a desert military camp with barbed wire and guard towers. The platoon includes Sergeant Diatta, a charismatic leader educated in Paris with a French wife and child. Also among them is Pays, a soldier deeply traumatized by the war and concentration camps, now unable to speak and communicating only through screams and grunts.
