The short film is very objective in its development, but the senseless violence on display leaves a sea of reflections on the banality of violent acts and the sense of normalization of this situation, where anyone can be the perpetrator or the executed. Set in everyday locations, the film doesn't have a story, dialogues or explicit motivations. What does exist is the political context of the region at the time of its release, which gives everything greater meaning. The atmosphere is cold, apathetic, disturbing and extremely realistic. People come and go, and everything sounds bleak and shocking. The camera is raw, visceral, following the progress of events, making us witnesses to every moment, causing the sensation of the weight and discomfort of an elephant in the living room.
