This French drama speaks of a topic rarely evoked before: the inner practices of military academies concerning the rookies. But it is evoked very quickly, maybe not enough A young soldier suddenly dies after one drill. This young man is from Arab descent, Algerian. And his brother seeks the reason why his brother actually died. Then the story gets into a flashback, concerning this family. The movie is made by an Algerian born director and mostly destined to Algerian born or descent audiences. Which I don't belong to, but it remains pretty ineresting and worth the watch. This is a part of history, part French part Algerian. Of course foreign audiences will maybe find not more interest in this feature.
