Synopsis

This short film narrates the journey of a young man carrying a handful of soil into the grave of a deceased soldier who happens to be burying his own dead body.

Our take

Nine split screens, one haunting vision. In Alican Durbaş’s nocturnal parable, the weight of soil refuses to disperse, an elemental burden carried across screens, where each act of burial deepens into a meditation on mortality and the Sisyphean efforts we tirelessly endure.
