Synopsis

KANEY (Juan Tojaka) is an African child soldier. He lives with many child soldiers and obeys the orders given by the man who has become like their father, the GENERAL of the Rebel Army (Babou Cham). PAULA (Alejandra Lorente) is a Spanish aid worker who moved to Africa following her boyfriend, JUANJO (Gustavo Salmerón), in order to bring help and to rescue the child soldiers who live there. In a border crossing point, PAULA and KANEY meet each other and this will be the starting point of this dramatic story, full of fear, violence and redemption... Being a soldier isn't difficult: either you get used to it or they kill you.

Critics' reviews

"A brutal, horrifying work about a former child soldier who recalls an atrocity from his past. Less than a half-hour, the short has the punch of a full, devastating feature."

Tom Keogh: Seattle Times
