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.
