Shadow of Fire

You're a child scavenging for scraps in the scorched ruins of a city, trading trinkets for rice while grown-ups whisper of ghosts and gunfire. But the streets remember everything, and so do the eyes of the men who knew your father. This film moves like a fever dream shot on grainy 16mm, lingering in the air like smoke from a dying fire.
