During the following autumn, France prepares the final evacuation. But the jungle is an ever-changing place, a cosmopolitan city, a city of the future: destroyed, it rises again and again from its ashes. Shot with young people caught in the turmoil of wars, police violence, and their attempts to cross the border into England, THE WILD FRONTIER could be a forgotten episode of Homer's Odyssey.
