in French with English subtitles

Gabriel, a young conscript, joins the front in 1914. For four years, he experiences the hell of the trenches, and the fear that ravages all men. After coming out of this terrible experience, full of blood and fury, he discovers his own humanity.

“Damien Odoul films visceral horror. He sketches his own fresco. The mythological and never documentary dimension avoids turning immersion into a spectacle. More than an actor, a presence emerges in this appalling tableau: young Nino Rocher, making his first film appearance. Minet at the start of the film, his face is covered with stigmata, damaged by so many horrors. His beauty unfolds, like a resistance to total chaos, a last proof of humanity”. Clément Ghys, Libération
