Synopsis:

Set against a subtly imagined historical backdrop, this animated work explores the human cost of conflict through a quiet, contemplative lens. The story centers on individuals grappling with the realities of war, not as grand strategists or heroic soldiers, but as those directly impacted by its devastating consequences. It avoids traditional action sequences, instead favoring nuanced character interactions and understated storytelling to depict the emotional toll of violence. The animation maintains a gentle pace, allowing for reflection on themes of loss, resilience, and the enduring search for peace amidst hardship. It offers a thoughtful meditation on the nature of war, focusing on its impact on everyday lives rather than spectacular battles.
