Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Every war ends sooner or later, but it leaves scars on the hearts and minds of those who survive it. For Youssef, Afghanistan and Iraq linger. After an almost fatal incident at home, he enrols in a special facility to prepare for another battle: this time, to learn to control his anger. It's not going to be easy.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
