Synopsis
Set during World War I, a French military unit is ordered to capture an enemy position that is virtually indefensible. When the attack fails, three soldiers are unjustly chosen as scapegoats and put on trial for cowardice. The film explores themes of honor, justice, and the brutal realities of war, as an officer defies the corrupt system in a desperate bid to save his men.
