"What the hell am I doing here?" he wonders. At that moment, an explosion occurs, and an enemy soldier comes tumbling down in front of him. The two men quickly point their guns at each other, but the distance between them is less than 10 meters. If there had been 100 meters between them, they would have shot at each other immediately, but at such a close range, they freeze. They realize that a human being is at the end of their guns, and soon they begin to talk about their families and their lives. Finally, they put down their guns and part ways. The film questions how soldiers can kill each other, suggesting they are brainwashed and misled by a false sense of justice, forgetting they are shooting at fellow humans with families and lives.
