Synopsis

Two wartime trenches are seen. Under the relentless hail of gunfire, two enemy soldiers engage in a foolish and chaotic battle that ends in a strange and ambiguous way — with both being removed from the scene of war.

Creators statement

This film is about the futility of war. We wanted to draw the viewer’s mind to the pointlessness of the entire process of fighting by breaking down the logical structure of events and making the course of action irregular and incomprehensible. If, after watching this short film about war, you thought “that was so incoherent and meaningless,” then we have achieved our goal.
