At night, all the blood is black. Diop D.

Alpha Nidi and Mademba Diop - Senegal soldiers fighting on the side of France during the First World War. When Mademba is seriously wounded in battle, he begs alpha to kill him and rid him of a long and painful death.

unable to commit this murder, Alpha begins to go crazy, speak with God and accuse himself of cowardice. In an effort to take revenge on the death of his friend and find forgiveness for himself, he arranges a terrible ritual: every night he makes his way through the front line to kill the soldier of the enemy side and return to the base with a trophy - a chopped hand. At first, his comrades look at the exploits of Alpha with admiration, but soon rumors begin to spread that this super -soldier is not a hero, but a sorcerer, a shower man. Plans are being built on how to remove alpha from the front and put an end to its growing collection of hands, but is it possible to agree with the demon? And how far is Alpha to go to make amends for his dead friend?
