De Uitverkorenen plot

"Many are called, few are chosen." That is the motto of the training of the Marine Corps, the largest elite unit of the Dutch army. Anyone who makes it to the finish line must be able to sacrifice themselves for a colleague. So if you want to be a Marine, you have to prove you're tough enough. As soon as instructors smell weakness, they pounce on prey like predators. Because the group is only as strong as its weakest link. The survival of the fittest is merciless, especially during grueling exercises. During 9 months of training, the camera records the process from fragility to breaking or… conquering yourself. At the same time, the viewer is increasingly confronted with the question: Are there any new iron-eaters?
