Why did the younger one go back to the older one after the older one shot him twice? At the end, the older one wanted the young one to come back because he knew that there were other mine nearby? If the older one left the younger one alone at first, they could have both stay alive...
They were only enemies at wars... because they were soldiers.
But if they were not at the battlefield, they were just two HUMANs... why wouldn't they help each other...The younger one is kind of cute and the owl is fluffy with a BIG head hahahahaha!

as witness of a confrontation who seems the right manifesto against war. because, in fact, this is the motif who gives to this short film a special charm. two soldiers. a sort of cat-and-mouse game. and perfect landscape. the change of roles. and the captivity . and, sure, the owl. it is impressive the manner to give, in less than 10 minutes, a subtle, powerful and convincing message, using the black humor as basic tool. because it is one of films who are surprising for the smart solution to a crisis who seems a chess game.

Acim Vasic should be applauded for this 10 minute short film set in a snowy forest in an unknown country, mainland Europe, I guess and an unknown war, the second world war I reckon.O is shot down behind enemy lines. X captures him and marches him through a snowy forest. Each time O gets an opportunity to escape, he is gunned down by X.There is an opportunity to turn the tables when X steps on a landmine and O grabs the rifle.It is a simple plot with not dialogue apart from a clacking sound made by X each time he wants O's attention.The short is regarded as absurd but I did not view it as a comedy. A game of noughts and crosses played out in real life. Very well photographed, lovely sound effects and the director showed a lot of skill in making this short.

I saw this film on a festival in Italy, where it won the 1st prize. It's like a small explosive. Starts slowly and carefully, but ends with a big awesome bang. It's always difficult to make a good short film, as the time is compressed. This one used the time and space exactly how short films should. Actors are good enough and carry out well their characters and the character of the film, which is unique in a way and very amusing. Many times I didn't know if it is all supposed to be serious or funny. It was all on the edge of both. Very sarcastic. The short film is visually great, amazing location, and costumes, and some unexpectedly beautiful shots, among which ones is surely the best reloading shot in cinema history, in my very humble opinion. Watch it if you have a chance, you won't regret, I promise.
