Synopsis
In an unnamed country, through a hostile landscape, two men are mercilessly hunted. Pursued ruthlessly by men on the ground and a helicopter circling above, life is reduced to a second-by-second fight for survival. Every muscle movement, every drop of sweat, every second counts. Yet under intense pressure an unbreakable bond and a gentleness between two men is forged.
