Despite the life threat hanging over his head, Stéphane decides to go back to Corsica for the funeral of Christophe, a childhood friend and companion in arms, murdered the day before. On this occasion, the chain of events which made him, the learned petit-bourgeois from Bastia, shift from delinquency to political radicalization and then to clandestinity, comes back to his mind.

This movie was very much a personal confession for the director. It’s a pity, though, that he didn’t realize while filming that only Corsicans know what is happening in Corsica and so I watched the events in the movie with wonderment but didn’t understand them at all. On one side there was the mafia, on the other the revolutionaries for the freedom of Corsica, and together they held pointless debates that made me want to slit my wrist in protest so that I could show what I thought about the whole movie. The only positive moments were the action sequences, which were short, intense, and created an unbelievable potential that, however, was buried by the rest of the film.
