SYNOPSIS: Based on actual events, the short film focuses on an ex-Nazi soldier subjected to questioning about a woman. The man’s tale leads us to a military hospital where a nurse, the woman he is looking for, is treating her patients. Suddenly, she is raped by the group of hospitalized soldiers. That will be the beginning of the nurse’s slow and cruel vengeance. She won’t submit herself to the humiliation and to the cruelty she has suffered, but she will express her anger and her pain completely. The man tells us about a loving woman he fell in love with, a woman who was also devoted to her job and whose image contrasts with the inhuman side of the nurse. Faraz Alam presents a short film of dark tones and filled with love and violence. By doing so the director asks an important question, which is also the standing ground of the film: will an eye for an eye make the whole world blind?
