Alfa Ndiaye and Mademba Diop, Senegalese soldiers in France's army and childhood friends, go over the top together. Mademba is fatally hit. Alone in the carnage, Alfa loses his mind and turns to a violence that horrifies his own side, until he is sent behind the lines and memories of Africa return.
