Bénédicte Meursault, a female firefighter, has just been transferred to a small fire brigade in the South of France. She is welcomed by Philippe, 45, the wise captain of the brigade. Soon after being introduced to the men, the young woman jumps into action. Unfortunately, while rescuing the victims of a terrible car crash, she does not find one of the injured who was ejected thirty meters away. Now the man is in hospital in a coma and he may die because of her. Completely upset, Bénédicte decides to resign but Philippe dissuades her from doing it. 不是影评,只是看完后的碎碎念。 Philippe是南法一所消防营的头儿。夏季炎热炙烤,无论天灾还是人祸,火灾隐患四伏,时有爆发可能。军士长Benedicte来到消防营,与40多岁的老手Xavier同级。营外随时可能有火情危机,营内氛围也紧张起来。影片聚焦这些平凡英雄的生活:冲在火情第一线,也在生活的第一线上。 这是Pierre Jolivet时隔一年半后(《Jamais de la Vie》)导演的第16部长篇电影,将镜头对准细小平凡的生活和工作环境。不同于好莱坞对消防员题材的不断挖掘和演绎,法国电影甚少将消防员的生活和工作搬上大荧幕。此前法国电影史上最出名的消防员大概是Francois Truffaut导演的《Fahrenheit 451》里Oskar Werner扮演的那位了。《Les Hommes Du Feu》由Studio Canal电影公司发行。
