A group of British tunnelers dig underneath no man's land, from the Allied trenches to the German trenches, and set bombs under the German front in hopes of breaking the deadly stalemate of the Battle of Messines.
Based on Alain Gandy’s book Les Chiens Jaunes, the story takes us back to March 1945. The Japanese army launch a sudden, brutally violent assault on the French garrisons in the Far East. Thousands of civilians and soldiers are killed. Stalked by the Japanese enemy, a column of legionnaires who are already weakened by alcohol and disease decide to traverse the jungle in an attempt to reach China and allied bases.
