The Japanese army launch a sudden, brutally violent assault on the French garrisons in the Far East. Thousands of civilians and soldiers are killed. Stalked by the Japanese enemy, a column of legionnaires who are already weakened by alcohol and disease decide to traverse the jungle in an attempt to reach China and allied bases.

Les Derniers Hommes is produced by Jacques Perrin on behalf of Galatée Films, in co-production with Belgium’s Versus Productions and Allons voir. Pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+, the feature film enjoys support from French Guiana, where the film will be shot in its entirety until mid-April, with Guillaume Deffontaines (nominated for the 2017 César in his speciality by way of Slack Bay [+lee también:
