The blockhouse

J. Clébert

The Allied bombardment of Normandy sends seven forced laborers into a concrete bunker. At first, they are ecstatic to discover a plethora of food, wine, no water, candles and other necessities - until they realize they are completely trapped. As time passes, fear gives way to boredom, which in turn gives way to despondency. Each man struggles to keep a grip on his sanity and maintain hope. But can there be a rescue if no one knows you're alive?
