Soldier Backgrounds:

All of the soldiers have been set out on patrol. In the base every day the role of patrol changes between the privates. Alongside each patrol group is a commanding officer who gives orders to them and keeps the soldiers in line. Its just a normal day as the troop set out on their patrol, soon they find out things are going wrong when the radio fails as the base tried to contact them. One of the soldiers who is holding the radio keeps trying to make contact with the base but it's distorted and keeps failing. The men are tired from the long war they have been fighting against the rebels. The war has been going on for 10 years. There's been fighting in deserts, jungles and forests but now the battalion have been assigned to fight in the swamps and moor land. The rebels have been hiding and making camps near the base so the patrol is scouting out for any movement - but they are not ready for the ambush that they face.


Detailed Story:

The very end of a film, a group of 3 army soldiers are pinned down by enemy fire. They are ultimately going to die. Their radios are down, they are running low on ammunition, there is no escape. In the end when they realise the end is near, they hold fire and sit it out behind the wall they are hiding behind. They each share stories of the times they had with each other, and remember about what they've been through. They stay with each other until the end. The main character is the last to survive and we have a shot of him lying on the ground, breathing out, looking up to the sky, accepting his fate.
