Physical Assault

His is just ONE INCIDENT in a thing called WAR. "Physical Assault" depicts what happens to nine young men trapped in the absurdities of war, a war none of them understands, a war where there are no winners, only losers. Kreuger, the film's central character is a former Infantry Lieutenant, who has been stripped of rank and sentenced to hard labour for refusing to carry out his part in the war. Now, because of his knowledge of the native language, he is offered a chance to redeem himself. His task - to aid in the interrogation of a youth suspected of being a gorilla. His response to the proposition is silence, that passes for acceptance and which inevitably involves him in a day and night of horror which leads to his destruction and the destruction of the innocent men around him. Every person isolated in the interrogation hut becomes a prisoner of the situation - the meaning of the title becomes clear. WILL ANY OF THESE MEN BE THE SAME AGAIN?
