Our take

Beautifully photographed right from the opening frame, this inventive no-budget featurette soon establishes itself as a deadpan, often comical existential trip, as two friends kick around in the literal/metaphorical wilderness. Selected by the prestigious avant-garde festival Hors Pistes in 2011.
