The true face of war is not always visible on the front lines.
Directed by Marc Munden and awarded a BAFTA, The Mark of Cain is about two young British soldiers, Shane and Loue, who are sent to Iraq in 2003. The film focuses not only on the fighting, but also on the moral pressure and psychological breakdown that the soldiers experience in extreme conditions. When they return home, they discover that the war has left a mark on them (the Mark of Cain) that is impossible to erase.
