Plot summary

The director’s statement
This movie was meant to bring more awareness and empathy in the context of world war. I have always wanted to work on this topic since it has been used in movies since forever, and has been even more viral since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Ever since the dawn of time, war has existed because of greed, power, money, fights over territory, etc., but mainly because of pure foolishness. The movie is about what we are willing to sacrifice to help our neighbour, and how far our hearts pushes us towards that goal. Some will tell you that war is a necessary evil to keep the economy running, and some will tell you it’s an abomination.
