Soko (also starring in THE DANCER), plays one of a handful of female soldiers flying home to France with her platoon after a tour of duty in Afghanistan. But first, they are offered a layover in Cyprus for a weekend of decompression and group therapy in an absurdly hedonistic 5-star resort. There’s tension and traumatic memories seething below the surface — not to mention the added pressure of some male combatants’ sexism and misogyny.
Directors Delphine and Muriel Colin (17 FILLES), with this captivating and highly-original film, shed new light on post-traumatic stress syndrome and sexual exploitation of women in the military.
