Film Synopsis
At the height of the Second World War, Adjudant Lenoir is one of many brave
military men to be caught up in the battle to free France from the occupying
Nazis. In 1944, his fight takes him to Provence, and with the city
of Marseille liberated, he chases the enemy all the way to the Rhine, where
Lieutenant Blancard will command a heroic victory. This is a crucial
moment in the Moroccan gourmiers' struggle for independence. As the
war draws to a close, emboldened by their numerous military successes across
Europe - a crucial part in the defeat of Fascism - the native Moroccans will
continue their own fight for freedom nearer to home...
