Sergeant Major Eismayer is the toughest and most feared NCO drill officer in the Austrian army. He is ruthless with recruits and relentlessly enforces both discipline and order with macho toughness. But when, Falak, a new recruit who has unashamedly embraced his homosexuality joins the army, it shakes Eismayer's existence to its very core. To love another man does not fit in with the idea of what a perfect soldier should be like. Falak becomes his target, but simultaneously triggers an overwhelming attraction. Based on an incredible true story.
