Synopsis
Afghanistan. Elsa Casanova, a renowned reporter, is taken hostage by the Taliban. With her execution imminent, a Special Forces unit is despatched to free her. In landscape that is both hostile and magnificent, a relentless chase is set in motion between the kidnappers, determined that their prey won't escape, and the group of soldiers who, at the risk of their own lives, have a sole objective: to bring Elsa back alive. Between this strong-willed woman and these duty-bound men, forced to confront the worst dangers together, violent, emotional and intimate bonds are formed.
