UNCE UPON A TIME IN SOLOLAKI

Synopsis

A young man picks up a gun and steps outside into the streets of Sololaki. There he encounters a friend who appears visibly worried. From this simple meeting, the film builds a brief, tense situation in which what remains unsaid becomes as important as what happens on screen.
