1953. General Navarre is the 7th coach appointed for the French French team. His goal: to prevent France from being relegated from Indochina. His plan : play it safe in 1953-54, then go on the offensive from 1955 onwards. But General Giap wants to put a spanner in his works and attacks in Tai country, thereby threatening Laos. The road to Dien Bien Phu is then wide open.
