Description:

Set in World War II, this poignant film delves into the largely overlooked story of North African men who enlisted in the French Army to fight against the Nazi regime. Four protagonists, hailing from Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, make a courageous decision to leave their homeland behind and embark on a perilous journey to France. Little do they know that they would also become unwitting pawns in the complex political landscape of colonialism, with their loyalty to the French Army tested by both their own government and their fellow French soldiers. As the war unfolds, these unsung heroes endure hardships, sacrifice, and a bitter realization of the stark inequalities that exist within the ranks of the military - an untold chapter in the annals of history brought to light in this compelling drama.
