Primo premio
A powerful film in its simplicity. Big visual and emotional impact, where every element of the film is developed at its biggest potential. A poetic narration of two kids’ play and of its extreme possible consequences; of the contrast between something playful and serious at the same time. A drama story, but still with a look of hope.
Synopsis
Set in a surface mine, two boys sink into a seemingly innocent power game with Mother Nature as the sole observer.
