War

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...
