After the death of almost all its soldiers, the army begins recruiting children from the villages to send them to war. Seduced by promises of glory, the grandiosity of war propaganda, and the weight of patriotism, they persuade the inhabitants. Among them is a boy who must leave behind the games with his friends to go to the front. Though unaware, his destiny already seems determined.

Trailer
Curatorial note:
By means of an animation that both captivates and unsettles, a devastating parallelism is drawn: while children play without understanding the consequences, adults play war without considering what they are destroying. The sacrifice of those who barely understand what they are giving becomes the currency by which a few buy power and glory.
