In 1943, as France attempts to free itself from the Nazi occupation, four forgotten soldiers from the first French army recruited in Africa attempt to stay alive. Abdelkader, Saïd, Messaoud and Yassin, renowned for their courage, are sent to the front line. Money, love for France or for the French army, faith in liberty and equality, their motivations diverge in spite of a single goal, freeing France, arms in hand.
