The movie takes you on a series of daily journeys with civilians, soldiers, and journalists, people who are connected and divided. The four elements &#8212; earth, water, air, and fire &#8212; feature prominently as a part of daily life, here serving as emblems of both the remarkable beauty and destructiveness of human nature.<\/div>\n<div>The film premiered at the International Documentary Film Festival in Buenos Aires (FIDBA) and has been shortlisted for the Imperial War Museum Short Film Festival.
