When an enemy fighter pilot is shot down behind enemy lines he is captured by a soldier and transported through the snowy woodland. This is the start of the short film which sees the conflict between the two play out in a series of small but engaging ways. As a plot it is simple perhaps but I enjoyed it and the style of delivery helped it. Although there is no comment on the war or soldiers, there is a certain absurdity to the plot and the delivery but at the same time the director has managed to capture the look and feel of a "proper" war movie. Shooting in the snowy wood is very well done and the film looks very good and plays well with many shots where you are not sure if it is a comedy or a drama (but in a good way).
The acting is solid although I personally did not like the noise the soldier made in place of dialogue – I think the decision to have no dialogue or language was a good one, just not sure about that noise in particular (as opposed to a whistle or something less abrasive and odd). Despite this the delivery is very good and it manages to be dramatic while being absurd and I found it quite enjoyable in its content and style.
