Emma has just turned 20. To follow in her father’s footsteps and to fill the existential abyss that inhabits her, she enlists in the army. Disciplined, competitive, proud; she adheres to the military ideology and the increasingly repressive rules to which she is subjected. Paradoxically, desire arises between her and her superior, sergeant Richard.

“Wars” is an incursion into the intimate and proposes a reflection without judgement on obsession, perversion, sexual consent, blindness...
