Everything about it..

It is simply beautiful. The visual impact. The personalities that come out in a brief period of time. The theme. The historical backdrop. The story.

It is simply beautiful.

Maybe, beautiful can be the fair manner to define this war short film, reflecting, for new perspective, in inspired manner, people , cultures, football, hope and meanings of life. Not original, but , for the tones of gray and brown, for the aerial images, dialogue, drops of humor, lovely simplicity, an admirable work. A special short film about things defining us. So, a very pleasant and hopeful surprise. A short film about peace as axis of humanity.
