SYNOPSIS
Inspired by a true story, OASIS tells the story of Noel, a young Frenchman in the 1950’s sent for reserve military duty in the dunes of Algeria, very far from home. There he is faced with moral and ethical dilemmas that cause him to embark on a surreal and dangerous journey through the Sahara Desert.
The year is 1956. Paris, the city of lights, is still recovering from the second World War. The drums of war seemed far away while Noel, a young painter, lives in Montmartre, paints on the Seine, and falls in love.
Noel reserves as a paratrooper, and like many his age he is sent to fight against the rebels of Algeria, far away in the Sahara Desert.
He isn't a pacifist or a communist - but at war, away from his homeland, he will face moral dilemmas that will force him to ask the question, 'to be or not to be?"
This is the story of someone willing to lose everything in order to save his conscience.
