Patria Nostra
in development
Abel, a young mixed-race Swiss man who grew up without knowing his father, joins the French Foreign Legion. His only desire is to feel he belongs to a group. Between male camaraderie, the traumas of war, border control, but also drugs and alcohol, Abel rebuilds himself an identity, a protective shell. But a chance encounter reopens a deeper wound: that of his origins.
