Algeria 1962: towards the end of the war for the independence of the Moslem population, a deputation from Gaullist headquarters arrives at a French army base. Their mission - to locate an irreconcilable rebel who has been hunted without success for years. He is urgently required to attend a peace conference. An old friend of his, a woman journalist, is escorted by a cynical but brilliant soldier on a highly dangerous expedition to track him down.
