From the notorius military jail of Sidi-al-Alama, Captain Sam Griffiths recalls his downfall. six months earlier at Soux-el-Had, a post remembered by many legionnaires for its relentless heat, Captain Sam Griffiths was again in command. He has trained many tough men in his remote and exotic camp. This time is not to be any different. That is until the arrival of a young new recruit, Giovanni Carreras. Kept awake by the constant grunts of lust emanating from the opposite cell where two other military prisoners mount each other endlessly, Sam Griffiths remembers the jolt of desire he felt that early morning in Spring when Giovanni first came out of the baracks. Watching his men he knew that they too, were completely under the spell.

The story of two radically different men thrown together in a Latin American prison cell. One is Valentin, a journalist being tortured for his political beliefs. The other is Molina, a gay window-dresser who fills their lonely nights by spinning romantic fantasies drawn from memories of old movies.

In the late 1990s, the arrival of elderly invalid Patrick into Marion and Tom’s home triggers the exploration of seismic events from 40 years previous: the passionate relationship between Tom and Patrick at a time when homosexuality was illegal.
