“It explodes in the no-man's land no picture ever dared cross before!”

WarDrama

A commanding officer defends three scapegoats on trial for a failed offensive that occurred within the French Army in 1916.

VIBE

This film is a grim, unflinching descent into the moral abyss of war, fueled by palpable tension and a steady, enraging build-up of injustice. Its stark black-and-white visuals amplify the raw, thought-provoking exploration of power, futility, and the human cost of systemic corruption.
