Algerian-born young officer named Aissa tragically dies during a freshman initiation ritual at the elite French military institution of Saint-Cyr. Controversy arises over Aissa’s funeral plans as his death rips through his family and the army refuses to take responsibility. It falls to Ismael — the older and more rebellious brother — to keep the family together while they seek justice for Aissa.
