The story is told through four characters: Abdelkader, a corporal who hopes to be promoted to sergeant; Messaoud, an ace marksman who fall in love with a beautiful Frenchwoman; Yassir, a Berber peasant who needs the money to marry off his younger brother; and Saïd, who leaves as his own father did in WWI, because he feels it's his duty. They give their all, despite getting little respect or recognition, and suffering the privations of those habitually discriminated against. These 'native' soldiers selflessly fought for a France they had never seen, and the film records their past heroics to give dignity to the generations of today and the future.MPAA rating: Rated R for war violence and brief language.DVD-video; Region 1; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround; letterbox widescreen presentation preserving the 2.35:1 aspect ratio of its theatrical exhibition.Winner, 2006 Cannes Film Festival awards for Best Actor: Jamel Debbouze, Samy Naceri, Roschdy Zem, Sami Bouajila, Bernard Blancan (Male ensemble cast); François Chalais Award: Rachid Bouchareb; winner, 2007 César for Best Writing - Meilleur scénario original (Original screenplay): Olivier Lorelle, Rachid Bouchareb.- Subjects: Foreign films.; Historical films; Motion pictures, French.; War films; Action and adventure films.; Feature films.; Feature films.; Historical films.; Historical films.; Historical; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; War films.; War films.; War; France.
