La Trahison (2006) - film review

Drama / War

Summary

During the Algerian War, Lieutenant Roque is stationed in a village in eastern Algeria. Weary of the conflict, he finds it hard to fulfil his duties. He is situated between a local population that is subjected to endless repression and torture and soldiers whose morale he is supposed to keep up. His relationship with Taïeb, a young soldier of north African origin, exacerbates the contradictions and absurdities of this war without a name.
