Regisseur Thomas Cailley gooit de man-vrouwverhoudingen op de schop en geeft een frisse draai aan de gebruikelijke romcom-perikelen. De jonge Arnaud en Madeleine worden tijdens een introductiedag van het leger aangewezen om met elkaar te vechten, waarna hun paden elkaar blijven kruisen. Terwijl Madeleine zich voorbereidt op de volgens haar aanstaande Apocalyps, wordt Arnaud verliefd. De fraai gefilmde, zomerse avonturen blijven aangenaam lichtvoetig; met originele personages, een onvoorspelbaar verhaal en sterk acteerwerk is Les combattants een bijzondere debuutfilm.
