What remains when violence becomes play, and play begins to look like the world we live in? This haunting question lies at the heart of a cinematic exploration that blurs the boundaries between innocence and brutality, between the games children play and the wars adults wage. Set against a backdrop where destruction has become the new normal, the film examines how power structures emerge and evolve even in the most unlikely circumstances. Through the lens of childhood, we witness the uncomfortable truth that the seeds of dominance and submission are planted early, taking root in the fertile ground of a world already scarred by conflict. In a landscape shaped by war, a group of boys move through the remnants of what is left behind, navigating a terrain both physical and psychological, where abandoned spaces become playgrounds and debris transforms into the tools of their own primitive society. One boy holds power with the natural authority of those born to command, while another burns with the quiet desperation of ambition, his desire as palpable as hunger.The rest follow, unquestioning and unaware, caught in the gravitational pull of power they neither fully understand nor dare to challenge. Their interactions reveal the raw mechanics of hierarchy, stripped of adult pretense and social conditioning. When a rubber object shaped like desire appears, the balance of power begins to shake. This catalyst seemingly innocent yet loaded with symbolic weight becomes the fulcrum upon which their carefully constructed order tilts toward chaos. The film asks not just what we leave behind for the next generation, but what they make of the ruins we've created, and whether redemption is possible when innocence itself becomes a casualty of our inherited violence.
