Synopsis
Following a difficult journey across Europe, Aleksei reaches Paris to enlist in the French Foreign Legion — a highly selective military corp that allows any foreigner, even undocumented, to be granted a French passport. In the Niger Delta, Jomo fights against oil companies that threaten the survival of his village. His sister Udoka, meanwhile, dreams of escaping, knowing that all is already lost here. Beyond borders, life and death, their destinies will intertwine.
