Soldier’s Story
Příběh vojáka
Skip to sidebar
A young man’s nightmare about being called up to the army and fighting in a war expressed in surreal images full of mud, cows on the way to the slaughter, a lady’s marble torso behind barbed wire, and finally, the horror of blindness. Wait for the shocking splash of red!
– Olaf Möller
