August, 1914. While Jean Mordant is away winning the title of Wrestling Champion of the World in Buenos Aires, his daughter Mimi is raped by German soldiers in Ostend. Determined to avenge this crime Jean, along with his coach and young nephew, enrols in the prestigious ACM (Armoured Car Division). War is ruthless, however, and he and his friends embark on a dramatic journey that will ultimately drag them around the world.
1914. Pendant que Jean Mordant remporte le titre de champion du monde de lutte, sa fille Mimi est violée à Ostende par les occupants allemands. Jean fait le serment de venger cette ignominie et s'engage au sein du prestigieux bataillon ACM. À son grand dam débute ainsi une odyssée dramatique autour du monde. Ce voyage dramatique remodelera à jamais sa vision du monde.
1914. Terwijl Jean Mordant in Buenos Aires de wereldtitel worstelen behaalt, wordt zijn dochter Mimi in Oostende verkracht door Duitse soldaten. Jean zweert dat hij het onrecht zal wreken. Met zijn trainer Victor en neefje Guido neemt hij dienst bij het prestigieuze ACM-korps (“Autos-Canons-Mitrailleuses”). Omdat de zwaar gebouwde pantserwagens in de Vlaamse modder wegzakken, worden ze echter overgeplaatst naar het oostfront. Zeer tegen de zin van Jean, die bericht krijgt dat zijn Mimi zwanger is, begint een dramatische odyssee rond de wereld.
