What happens

L'Aventure atomique est un court métrage français réalisé par Loïc Barché en 2019. Algérie, 1961. Alors que la France vient de faire exploser sa quatrième bombe atomique, un groupe de sept soldats est envoyé jusqu'au point d'impact afin d'y effectuer des prélèvements et des mesures de la radioactivité. Mais plus ils avancent, plus le capitaine, un vétéran de guerre d'une cinquantaine d'années, se voit confronté aux paradoxes d'un monde qui change, obsédé par le progrès. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
