Synopsis
Set in the First World War, the film tells the story of two enemy soldiers who are full of hope, dreams, desires and love, but also full of fear and sadness.

Although we already have some points of preparation behind us, we still have to go part of the way. Therefore, we invite you to become part of the project. We would also like you to share the crowdfunding campaign with all your friends and family!
Vision
In many films, no matter how visually brutal they may be, the plot is often wrapped up in a heroic story, which unfortunately does not always correspond to the truth. The truth is the suffering that people have to endure day after day in a war. Our aim is to produce a film that is as realistic as possible in its subject matter, that touches people and raises awareness of this important issue. Furthermore, we want to bring this film to film festivals all over the world, prepare for the international evaluation,
as well as popularise it on the internet and make it available free of charge for various events, lectures, institutions and foundations for peace in order to achieve the widest possible reach.

Fantastic! The crowdfunding campaign is over and has ended successfully! You guys are amazing! Thank you to everyone who supported, shared, forwarded and recommended the project for 50 days! Here you can see again that together we are strong!
But what happens now?
Here's a very short summary: We have one more day of shooting ahead of us, which will be very intense and quite complicated, because we will also use some pyrotechnics and special effects. After that, extra sounds will be recorded and edited in the studio and processed for the cinema. Once that's done, it goes into post-production where we take care of the editing, effects, mixing, colour grading, etc. Then the film music is added and adjusted. After that, everything is mixed for the screenings in cinemas. At the same time, the numerous goodies from the crowdfunding campaign will be prepared and distributed.
Of course, there will always be new information about the project!
