Abstract

This film is the story of young Czech Václav Malý (Jaroslav Mares) who, having survived a concentration camp during the Holocaust and the deaths of his father and sister, joins the French Foreign Legion to fight in the war in French Indochina. He is assigned to the same unit as the former SS guard Wolf (Hannjo Hasse) who had murdered Václav's relatives and escaped from the Allies. When Václav finds out, he is looking for revenge against the backdrop of the battle against the Việt Minh in the final days of the First Indochina War (1946–54).
