The story, written by the newly turned director himself, begins in France in 1959. Colonel Breitner is given a secret mission: find the body of his former aide, Colonel Delignières, who has been reported missing in French Algeria, before the French Army burns the whole place to the ground. Breitner puts together a team of five outlaws, who are promised freedom if the mission succeeds. 

The Breitner Commando is currently filming and is being produced by Marc Missonnier for Moana Films
