The Story

A haunting and poetic vision of war and its effects on everyday life, created without images of war. The film's structure is drawn from road signs found as fragments of a trip, with the quotidian images - of landscapes, city life, children playing, a wedding - collected like a diary in a combination of richly saturated colour and high-contrast black-and-white footage. In contrast to the emotive quality of the imagery and music, the voice-over/text provides a dispassionate and chilling guide on what to expect and how to behave in times of war.
