Movie Summary: Foreign Legion officer Galoup recalls his once glorious life, training troops in the Gulf of Djibouti. His existence there was happy, strict and regimented, until the arrival of a promising young recruit, Sentain, plants the seeds of jealousy in Galoup's mind.
Queer Film LA Says: It's not gay but... those handsome soldiers, the beautiful cinematography, the bodies in the sun, woof. This tale of obsession and jealousy between an older sergeant and a young recruit from French master Claire Denis is a smoldering and sensual examination of men's worlds.
