Deserter in Algeria

DESERTER IN ALGERIA - A SAHARA DESERT STORY

During street riots in Beirut, the ten-year-old Ismael's parents were brutally killed by one of the fanatical fighters with a curved saber. He witnessed it all from a hiding place and swore revenge on the man with one foot significantly shorter than the other. As a young man in the Israeli Navy, one night he spots the same man in a North African city, the man on whom he wants to exact his revenge. However, he doesn't get the opportunity to kill him, but he sees that the man is now in the French Foreign Legion. Ismael deserts the Israeli Navy and joins the French Foreign Legion, hoping to encounter the man there.

During an operation in Vietnam, Ismael is struck by shrapnel and ends up in the hospital. There, he meets the girl of his dreams, but at the same time, he also sees his hated enemy in a bed a little distance from him. Due to his injured leg, he can't do anything, but the nurse helps him find out more about his hated enemy. Back in the Foreign Legion, Ismael is sent on another mission, where he loses all his comrades, and then he arrives at another division of Legion soldiers. There, he finally gets his chance after ten long years of searching to exact his revenge and avenge the blood of his parents. Due to his desertion from both the Israeli Navy and the Foreign Legion, he is shortly thereafter arrested by the government, and a judge must decide his fate.
