James Hunter

En 1917, coincé dans les tranchées depuis trop longtemps, le soldat britannique engagé Hamp déserte dans un moment de désespoir. Repris à Calais, il est renvoyé dans sa tranchée et jugé devant un tribunal militaire. Le capitaine Hargreaves va assurer sa défense.

Interstellar travel at sub-light speeds: the enormous distances, isolation from human culture and the aching loneliness of space are enough to drive the strongest personality insane. Better to block all memories of human contact and to program the 12-strong crew to accept only the reality they can see and touch within their spacecraft. But a child born on "the Station" becomes insistent on learning the truth about 'Outside'.

Arthouse portraiture of a disestablishmentarian during his six-year draft dodge.
