A feature length intellectual allegory, produced during a period which was highly influenced by filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. A man, who represents the total individual, free and well-rounded, rejects war in all of its forms. Society grabs this deserter and throws him in prison. His character is attacked in the media, and he even undergoes brain surgery to have war imprinted in his mind. Society forces him to care about his appearance, his equipment and his rank. But, as strong as it may be, society cannot take away his heart. This poetic film shows a cruel side of society. A story of love and freedom regained, this film by Jean Pierre Lefebvre illustrates the growing conflict between the individual and society, breathing new life into the current wave of pacifism in the world.
