While folks today might not know about it, but during the 1950s and into the 60s, the French fought a long and bitter war to try to retain control of their colonies in North Africa...which were, at the time, considered part of France. So this long war is the time period in which the film is set.
The story begins back in France. A grouchy guy and his friend are hanging out in a bar after they were both released from a hospital following injuries they sustained in combat. You later find out that the grouchy guy is actually from a wealthy family and you wonder why he's hanging out in a seedy bar instead of heading home. See the show and learn why...and why this is all rather heartbreaking.
While I did not love this episode, it really had a sad and dark twist that do make it worth seeing. Apparently the other two reviewers liked it far less than I did...see it and see for yourself.
