Living or Leaving
Three family life pictures, each one 5 years apart from the other. Two male characters with no women, a father and son. First picture is taken right after granddad’s funeral. Then we skip in the middle of the father’s fight against a degenerative illness. Finally, at father’s deathbed.
September Letters
War rages on in the background. In a war prison camp, a prisoner private is suffering the whipping post, a prisoner lieutenant strives to keep things in balance. A camp sergeant enjoys inflicting pain, the camp commander waits to get the fruits of his hard work. Suddenly a peace treaty between their armies breaks out and forces these four characters to deal with a change in the reality they called home till that very morning.
