A MARTIAL KIND OF MEN
Country: UK
Year: 1995

In a war-torn and sniper infested village in Central Asia, four teenage soldiers of the Royal Lancashire Regiment get separated from the rest of their section. They are discovered by Corporal Hooke, a seasoned and cynical renegade whose only worry is his own survival. Hooke smells disaster on the youngsters and abandons them to their fate. One of the lads spots amongst the rubble an unlikely Grail: a bottle of beer. Hooke is drawn against his will into a tragic nightmare, as the martial kind of men go to war.
