ARMADILLO is a direct and honest description of the rising cynicism and addiction to adrenaline that young soldiers experience while serving in battle. Both Mads and Daniel are embarking on their first assignment together in Helmand Province, which is located in Afghanistan. Their platoon is currently deployed to Camp Armadillo, which is located directly on the frontline in Helmand Province, where they are engaged in fierce combat against the Taliban. The soldiers are in Afghanistan to provide assistance to the Afghan people; nevertheless, as the combat becomes more difficult and operations get more dangerous, Mads, Daniel, and his friends become cynical, which creates a larger cultural divide between them and the Afghan people. It didn't take long for suspicion and paranoia to set in, which in turn led to estrangement and disappointment. Armadillo is a remarkable film on the legendary story of man and war, staged in its current incarnation in Afghanistan. The film is also a voyage into the mind of a soldier.
