French Army Captain Antares Bonassieu and his squad are assigned to monitor a remote valley of Wakhan, Afghanistan on the border of Pakistan. Negotiating control of the region between local shepherds and possible Taliban sympathizers grows more and more tenuous for them as men from all sides start mysteriously disappearing. Unable to explain this eerie phenomenon, the soldiers find themselves embroiled in an existential nightmare, desperate for their own safety.

Reviews

  • "...gripping mash-up of LONE SURVIVOR, THE THING, and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT that pits a squad of French soldiers against a supernatural menace far deadlier than the Taliban."
    Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
  • "Clement Cogitore’s striking debut puts an inventive fresh, uncanny spin on the War in Afghanistan soldier study."
    Guy Lodge, Variety
  • "...a haunting and original work."
    John Bleasdale, Cine-Vue
