Cafard
1914. While Jean Lemarin is away winning the title of Wrestling Champion of the World in Buenos Aires, his daughter Mimi is raped by German occupiers in Ostend. Jean swears he will avenge this despicable act. With his coach, Victor, and his nephew Guido, he enrolls in the prestigious ACD (Armoured Car Division). But the heavily-built armoured vehicles keep getting stuck in the mud and so the battalion is transferred to the Eastern front. Jean is greatly displeased for he has just learned that Mimi is pregnant. Despite this, he and his friends embark on a dramatic journey around the world.
