In 2009 a Danish troop accompanied by filmmaker Janus Metz arrives at Armadillo, an army base in southern Afghanistan. Shot over six months, the film plunges into the daily life of such group of soldiers, while revealing the complexity of this strange “war” and their international intervention.

If you think you’ve seen it all about soldiers in the Middle East, think again. This stunning doc, made by an embedded crew in Afghanistan, has images which sear with details, and provides a revelatory look at the terror, adrenaline, boredom, and murky morality of life on the ground.
