Synopsis
At just 18, a young man begins a 17-year journey in the military. Once inside, he's confronted by harsh realities he never imagined. Many fellow soldiers falter, struggling with errors or lacking the strength and resilience required. The system, efficient and discreet, eliminates those who can't keep up from their rigorous routines. While the young man remains steadfast, his roommate and close friend, Frank, isn’t as fortunate. His continual shortcomings have finally caught up with him.
