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.
The story follows Boris, a charismatic tour guide who unexpectedly reunites with his estranged father Julián. Their tense and emotional encounters explore past wounds and the possibility of forgiveness.
