Young soldiers Mads and Daniel are on their first mission in Afghanistan. Their platoon is stationed in Camp Armadillo, on the Helmand frontline, fighting tough battles against the Taliban.
The soldiers are there to help the Afghan people, but as the fighting gets tougher and operations get hairy, Mads, Daniel and their fellow soldiers' increasing cynicism and adrenaline addiction widen the gap between them and the locals. As idealism clashes with reality, mistrust and paranoia set in, causing alienation and disillusion.
Armadillo is a journey into the soldier's mind and a unique film on the mythological story of man and war, staged in its contemporary version in Afghanistan.
