Why is it called "Forbidden Love in the Army"?

To be honest, I really didn't see how "forbidden love" happened in the military.
In a barren French colony in Africa, a pair of sturdy soldiers are doing arduous and endless training and labor. The strange and ugly officer (it is said to be a very famous French actor, his acting skills are really good) are inexplicably right. The new handsome Russian guy was full of resentment and jealousy, and then all kinds of stories happened, with few lines, which was a boring movie.
What attracts me is the majestic and desolate scenery of Africa and the powerful and solid training methods of foreign troops. The so-called "forbidden love" should not be the "ambiguity" between the Russian military and the commander. (In fact, I didn't see any ambiguity. Place), but it should be the demon hidden in the heart of the ugly chief.
At the end of the film, the ugly guy suddenly danced in a wonderfully dazzling costume. The dance was very bizarre and the music was very moving, but I really didn't understand why this happened.

    I don’t understand too much, the French literal translation is "excellent work", right? In fact, it is very absurd. What is the use of training in this deserted place? The casualties came from inexplicable accidents; the sense of sacred rituals, but in fact there is only cold discipline in the army, the whole body of the pantyhose is army green, and the chief will still fold the quilts neatly after he leaves the team. at MoCA

    God made! ! Dancing is an extension of training, and the training movements in the movie have a dance-like attitude. Hand-held brings emotional tension to the picture

    Legionnaire: [in Russian] Commandant, you know what it's like in Russia. No money, no work. I was in the army there for two years. I fought for Russia. But it's impossible to fight just for an ideal. An ideal that just keeps changing. You know what I mean?
