What happens

R.A.S. est un film franco-italo-tunisien réalisé par Yves Boisset et sorti en 1973. Ce long métrage traite de la guerre d'Algérie, et de la façon dont l'armée française a traité l'insoumission de certains appelés, l'abréviation R.A.S. signifiant « rien à signaler » dans les contextes militaire et administratif.
