Beau travail in Amsterdam

Amidst the scorching heat of Djibouti, Officer Galoup leads a strictly regimented life in the French Foreign Legion. His perfectly controlled existence is disrupted by the arrival of Sentain, a promising young recruit who threatens his status. What begins as professional rivalry descends into deep-seated jealousy and a complex psychological power struggle. This poetic and visually arresting masterpiece, loosely based on Herman Melville's 'Billy Budd,' explores themes of repressed desire, toxic masculinity, and isolation against the haunting backdrop of the East African landscape.
