Synopsis

Spoiler shield

France, World War I. Justin (Alban Ivanov), an illiterate peasant farmer is enrolled in French army. Knowing nothing of the World or the War, Justin finds himself on the front without understanding why he must kill men he’s never met. Naïve and open minded, Justin will cross the path of a German pilot and a Senegalese soldier, escape a prisoner camp and start a mutiny to prevent his fellow comrades to risk their lives. Through his journey Justin will question the absurdity of war, make lifetime friends and inspire many…

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
