Film Synopsis
Sergeant Denis Quillard is leading his patrol across the unforgiving deserts
of Afghanistan when he suddenly comes under enemy fire. In a matter
of seconds his entire patrol is wiped out. He is the only survivor.
But then he finds he is standing on a landmine which is primed to explode
at any moment if he makes the slightest movement. Quillard is unable
to call for help from his unit as his radio is out of reach. So here
he is, under a boiling sun, caught like a rat in a trap. A sitting
target for his enemy, he is all too aware that he will die instantly if he
so much as twitches. That is the best he can hope for. The alternative
possibility - that he might merely be severely maimed - is too terrible to
contemplate. As his strength and morale start to ebb away he begins
to give way to his fears and wonders how this nightmarish ordeal will end...
