The Horizon

In the aftermath of a brutal war, a young boy wanders alone through desolate ruins. He soon meets a girl, and the two children, both unnamed, begin a quiet journey together across a barren, crumbling landscape. As they travel, they witness the horrors left behind—violence, death, and despair—while clinging to their fragile hope for a place of peace.

The story unfolds with minimal dialogue, using haunting imagery and silence to explore profound themes like:

• The loss of innocence

• The cruelty and absurdity of war

• Loneliness, trauma, and resilience

• The existential search for meaning and connection

Despite the bleakness of the setting, the relationship between the boy and girl offers a sliver of humanity and warmth, making their journey feel both tragic and deeply human.
