It’s just another day on the job for a band of war zone rescue workers as they defy death and confront war’s absurdities. Over the course of 24 breathless hours, Mambrú (Benicio del Toro) leads his team of humanitarians as they deal with a most unexpected crisis, layers of bureaucratic red tape, and the reappearance of Mambrú’s old flame (Olga Kurylenko). Through it all, the group handles the less-than glamorous realities of life in a combat zone the only way they know how: with selfless bravery and a healthy dose of irreverent humour.
