World War II drama following four North African soldiers enlisted in the Free French army in 1943 as they fight their way through Italy and France.

From their training and first engagements in north Africa to their courageous and vital missions in northern and eastern France, they endure hardships inflicted not only the Nazis, but also the institutional racism of their colonial master.
