This documentary follows the Legionnaires, the foreign legion members, in the heart of French Guyana. Throughout their training sessions and missions, they will share their stories, and knowledge of the Amazonian forest.

In the style of a logbook, written and narrated by famous French writer and host Sylvain Tesson, the documentary depicts the portrait of these nameless men who dedicate many years of their lives to France. Sylvain Tesson will explore the ultimate and intimate goal of the legionnaire’s mission, which is also a quest for the self.
