Film Synopsis

In Paris of the mid-1950s, Thibon has grown so bored with his job as a postman that he decides to enlist in the Indochina War.  He now has more excitement than he knows what to do with, but thankfully he also has a new crop of friends to make his difficult new life bearable.  He is still delivering mail, but in a much more dangerous place.  It's a sobering thought, knowing that he could be killed at any moment by a stray bullet or a passing explosive.  One day, Thibon's van hits a mine and the next thing he knows he is in hospital, where he succumbs to the charms of a sweet nurse named Vang.  After being captured by the enemy, Thibon manages to pull off a remarkable escape with his comrades in arms, and he is soon back in Paris doing his boring old job, glad to have put his wild adventures in the Far East behind him.
