SYNOPSIS:

In a country torn apart by war, a father and his son live under the same roof, but their relationship is cold and marked by a painful lack of love and communication. When conflict erupts, they are forced to leave their home and enlist together in the army. The film follows their intense journey, always side by side, sharing every moment of fear, doubt, and survival, with very few moments apart, these rare separations becoming sources of immense anxiety and stress. Throughout their journey, they are guided and protected by an army squad, symbolically embodying the Seven Deadly Sins. Each soldier represents a different facet of human weakness and strength, acting as guardian angels in a brutal environment. Initially, the father, influenced by Wrath, harshly criticizes his son for perceived inadequacies. But as the war progresses, these symbolic guardians perish one by one, each death stripping away another layer of humanity, leaving profound emotional wounds and crucial life lessons in their wake. Meanwhile, their mother, left alone at home, struggles to survive in a devastated environment. Through the horrors of combat and the trials of war, father and son are confronted with their inner wounds and the necessity to rebuild themselves, on a painful quest toward hope and redemption. In a tragic climax, the son ultimately loses his life, becoming the final angel lost to war. Returning home broken, the father faces his wife, who asks where their child is. With heartbreaking simplicity, the father replies, “We’ve lost our angel.” Original Symbolism: Far from being a traditional war film, this story unfolds like an existential fable. Each “guardian angel’s” death strips away a human flaw from the protagonists, bringing father and son closer to their own truth. The narrative’s structure transforms the journey into a path of inner redemption, where war becomes a mirror for the soul.
