On Canal+
A high-octane WWI action drama built on the premise of superhuman soldiers, balancing spectacle with the melancholy of war and the personal cost of enhancement.
1915, WWI. French Private Gabriel is presumed dead. Selected for a top-secret program, he’s given a serum that makes him stronger and faster. To see his family again, he must join the Sentinels, elite soldiers on a mission to end the war.
