🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This short animation transforms a historical footnote into a piercing allegory about the blindness of power structures and the cruelty born from ritual. It exposes the mechanisms that render any life expendable in the game of annihilation.
What lingers after the final frame is a profound unease about how arbitrarily the lines between 'us' and 'the enemy' are drawn. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Xosé Zapata
