At an isolated frontier outpost, a colonial magistrate suffers a crisis of conscience when an army colonel arrives looking to interrogate the locals about an impending uprising, using cruel tactics that horrify the magistrate.
An isolated desert outpost becomes a claustrophobic pressure cooker as imperial paranoia clashes with human decency. This stark fable captures the exact moment civilization curdles into cruelty under the weight of suspicion.
