Synopsis
A brief story about 2 young boys, one a Jew and the other a Sicilian, who lose their family at war. As they grow up into men they grow a strong hatred for people and the system. They infiltrate into the hierarchy/the system. This short narrative is poetically written, nothing with to much depth in terms of storytelling but more visually orchestrated to the narration. Each shot has a symbolic meaning to the message.
From the Judges
From the Judges
The cinematography and colour grade drew real admiration here, along with a costuming and design sense that gives the whole piece a distinct visual identity. It struck the panel as a concept film beautifully made, using intense symbolism and an artistic approach to storytelling to render a harrowing rivalry between young men. Bold, stylish, and genuinely surprising, this short leaves a strong impression.
