In 1960, in the north of Algeria, war is rampant. But not very far from the battlefield, General De Gaulle is rooting for another project that he deems more important than the war itself. The highest ranked French military officers and scientists are busy setting up the country’s first nuclear experimentation centre. Several soldiers and members of local tribes are summoned to participate in the events as well.
