To the Ends of the World (Les Confins du monde)

Indochina, 1945

The Vietnamese people oppose French colonialism.

Ho Chi Minh's lieutenant Vo Binh Yen leads the insurrection.

Japan, at war with China, occupies the north of the country.

9 March 1945

Hello.

My name's Robert Tassen. I'm a soldier.

I was wounded during the Japanese attack on March 9th.

Where?

Garrison Camille Chautemps.

I'd be surprised. They're all dead.

Well, I'm alive.

I want to join a regiment.

Except that you're in a brothel.

Do you have military ID?

No.

- Your dog tag? - I don't have one.

Alright...

Wait for me here.

Want something to eat?

I have no money.

Thank you.

I arrived a day before the slaughter.

I was meeting my brother and his wife.

I have no record of a Robert Tassen.

I have a Henri Tassen.

He wasn't at Chautemps but at Chaubon near Haiphong.

That's impossible. I met them at Chautemps.

This is the 5th Infantry Regiment. I don't have all the rolls.

Where were you back home?

2nd Armored Division. Nod-sur-Seine.

Rotten luck.

The war ends in France, you get here and it starts again.

7,000 men slaughtered here.

Not counting women and children.

We haven't had time to count them all.

I want to fight Vo Binh Yen.

For now, our goal is to protect the Indochinese population.

Ho Chi Minh isn't about to,

let alone his lieutenants.

The guerilla war is spreading throughout the territory.

The Japanese left a mess, even the Viets kill each other.

After your ordeal, there's no shame in returning to France.

What for?

My brother and his wife were murdered by Vo Binh.

I thought the Japanese did it.

Same thing.

Vo Binh witnessed the massacre. He stood by and let it happen.

What about you?

Where were you?

In the courtyard.

Wounded.

They made my brother watch his wife being gutted.

They took the baby out of her, and sewed it to her chest.

Then they made my brother kneel, and a Jap cut off his head.

Vo Binh was there,

watching,

smiling.

Tassen?

Robert Tassen?

What?

Care for a cigarette?

TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD

Where are you from?

Mayenne.

Mayenne is full of farmers. Are you a redneck?

If you like.

You let people call you a redneck like that?

There's something over there.

Go look.

It's a body.

Fuck.

You let them do this!

You're cowards.

I should gun you all down.

Dirty swine!

You betrayed us twice.

Your friend Father François, and me.

I've lost all faith in you.

Captain Sirbon will make you pay.

You have 10 minutes to get out before we torch the place.

Where do you think you are, Tassen?

This is a border post, not a stable.

An hour more and you'd be a deserter.

Know what we do to deserters?

We hang them.

Want to get hanged, that it?

Still, better horse steaks than cat.

What's that blood?

Nothing.

Next time you leave, tell Maussier.

How about a drink?

- No time. - No time?

I don't care for it.

Are you queer?

I asked you if you were queer.

The new girl doesn't drink, guys.

What's your name again?

Where are we going?

I'm talking to you.

Shit.

You brought him back?

They beheaded my brother, too.

We have to bury him.

Does Radio Hanoi still play accordion music?

I have no idea. Plus, the accordion makes me cry.

You like the accordion?

The accordion, do you like it?

No.

Can you knock it off, please?

What the fuck!

JULY

There are ten men back there.

On the hill.

Tassen!

Tassen!

Cavagna!

Lucky those fuckers can't aim.

How's the army food?

What?

How's the army food?

What the hell do you care?

Are you paid to fight?

Why, want to change sides?

Interested?

Want to become a Frenchman?

Yes. I want to be French.

Do you know Vo Binh Yen?

Do you recognize me?

Yeah.

You might say you were born lucky.

Was I?

You had a close call.

What are you doing here?

I'll explain some other time.

I have to go.

The Confessions of Saint Augustine

"Who will show us good?

"And they would hear us say..."

Good for you. You're walking this morning.

Yes.

Well...

How long did you live in that hut?

One month.

That little girl saved your life.

She's the one who found me.

Now you owe them a life.

I don't owe anyone anything.

Did you know the commander of the garrison well?

He was a friend.

A good man for a soldier.

Very honest.

Will he be in your book?

Probably, yes.

They beheaded him, too.

Beheading is a French tradition.

What's that book you left me?

You have it? I thought I'd lost it.

Do you want it back?

No, next time.

Do you still have family in France?

Yes. My adoptive mother.

Are you an orphan?

No, but my mother couldn't keep us.

Do you ever see her?

She died three years ago.

And the other one?

Your adoptive mother, do you love her?

Of course.

Good.

You'll find her again.

I don't think so.

It's Vo Binh I'll find.

Go home.

Start a family.

You're too young to miss out on life.

You've been wounded twice. Don't push your luck.

I'll ask Captain Sirbon to arrange for your return.

Tassen, you're not here.

You're a corporal now. You get a double.

And you get a gun.

Who's in the other bed?

Khiet, an Indo who arrived last week.

He's a sergeant.

I figured you went back to France.

Who is that?

Rigot. He's dead.

Anh stepped on a mine. We couldn't transport him.

Coming?

Where?

To the Perroquet. I want to get drunk.

Appeasement is all they talk about. What's that even mean?

We need the population's support.

Free a village, and the Viets win it back.

Follow their example. Hide. Attack by night.

We're too numerous. Too visible. Too French.

Too French? Well, shit!

We need a commando unit.

We surprise the villagers, pummel them, and withdraw.
