Storyline

"A grand military saga in a banana republic."

A recruitment office in the tropical heat of La Republic de los Mosquitos. Beneath the turning fans, wearing only white pants, the boys wait to undergo close inspection. Initiations, maneuvers in battle dress, abuse from NCOs, pillow fights, the squabbles and sexual tension of young men deprived of female company.
