Synopsis
A group of aid workers tries to remove a cadaver from a well in an armed conflict zone. The body was thrown into the well to contaminate the water and cut the water supply to the local population. But circumstances soon turn a simple task into an impossible mission.
The workers cross the frenzied war landscape like guinea pigs in a maze, and there might be no way out. A war inside another war, in which the only enemy could be irrationality.
The crisis they're trying to solve is humanitarian, but they're only human. Humour, drama, tenderness, routine, danger, hope: it all fits into a perfect day.
This film's only genre is life itself. Like a Russian doll, it's a drama inside a comedy, inside a road movie, inside a war movie.
