A stunningly beautiful film, inspired by Herman Melville's Billy Budd, exploring the near-mythical world of the French Foreign Legion. When the heroism of a new recruit attracts the attention of the platoon commandant, the prestige of the sergeant major is threatened, with disastrous consequences.

Dir Claire Dennis. France, 1998. 93mins, cert 15, in French with English subtitles.
