Synopsis
Ida (Angeliki Papoulia) is the captain of her five-man crew. During their trip on the boat where they live, they pass through Marseille, where the discreet and secret male world of the French Foreign Legion catches their attention and decide to follow them in their route through the Mediterranean Sea. One of the stops of the crossing is Corsica, which serves as a resting point before heading to the historic garrison of the legion in Algeria. It is here that borders and certainties will fade as seafaring life produces an empathetic feeling of mutual understanding between Ida and her ship's crew.

This a film which has all the superficial contours of a profound and intelligent enterprise, but little of the actual content.
