User review:

I like this short a lot, because it uses its time very effectively. We learn exactly what we need to know about the two characters, in order to make the ending work. Even so, I would like to see this short expanded into something larger. I think something around 40 minutes would be just right. I think there’s an interesting story to be told about what happens next between these two characters and particularly the main character. I think there’s also a lot that could be said about what led the main character to this position. Somehow, having seen the short, I think this would be best as flashbacks, rather than chronological. But judging from the original release date, I think my comments are probably a decade too late to matter. So I’ll at least enjoy the short that we have here.

1h 34min | Action, Comedy, Drama | 6 June 2014 (UK)

Storyline:

Armed with nothing more than twigs, their imaginations and a simple set of rules, a group of 12-year-olds engaged in a lively game of Capture the Flag in the neighborhood woods start dangerously blurring the lines between make-believe and reality. Paint-filled balloons = Grenades. Trees = Control towers. Sticks = Sub-machine guns. The youthful innocence of the game gradually takes on a different tone as the quest for victory pushes the boundaries of friendship. The would-be warriors get a searing glimpse of humanity’s dark side as their combat scenario takes them beyond the rules of the game and into an adventure where fantasy combat clashes with the real world.
