In Indochina in 1945, young French serviceman Robert Tassen is the sole survivor of a massacre in which his brother is killed before his eyes. After escaping a mass grave and wandering through the jungle, he rejoins the army, consumed by a desire for revenge. Unable to fit in with disillusioned or cynical soldiers, and overwhelmed by the Viet Minh’s cruel actions, Robert pursues the killers in secret.
