## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The disciplined solitude of a Foreign Legion outpost meets the simmering intensity of a rivalry without a cause. A hardened officer’s orderly routine unravels when a charismatic newcomer upstages every ritual that once anchored him. The pain is danced, not spoken, and the desert hums along.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, outsider, slow-burn
