The film is part of the hero’s story: the first attempt to get out on the battlefield. Throughout his life he has been preparing for this day: he read books, learned history, philosophy, he trained, he was taught martial arts, so that when he grew up he would be ready to fight the enemy. When the time comes he feels ready and heads to fight the enemy he had studied so well, taking victory for granted. Unfortunately, what he faces has nothing to do with what he expected: the enemy is something new. His knowledge, his practice, his weapons, can not help, as they have no effect on him. But the worst thing is that the battle is set, it seems that all he can do is take part in a fake war that is not his. His choice is to close his eyes and fight with his soul because only then can he face the lie and the darkness.
