Aroview: Crushing melodrama centred on a man whose life begins to cave in on him after returning from service in the Foreign Legion to find his dreams shattered by an overbearing family and the temptations of alcohol.

A brutal and unflinching depiction of male depression that provides a clear warning against the indulgent and tempting excesses of a modern society that clearly overlooks the individual.
