18-year-old Antonis Antoniadis has enlisted in the German Armed Forces for 17 years. He serves as a medic and wants to study pharmacy. His roommate finds it difficult to adjust to military life. With quiet and sometimes humorous detachment, THE UNIFORMED portrays a soldier and makes palpable the tensions that arise between a young person’s attempt to become himself and the structures, disciplines, and hierarchies of an institution that seeks to mold individual bodies into one.
