## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You enter a shuttered farmhouse behind Japanese lines where two prisoners wait, one shouting orders the other translating in panic. The farmer obeys orders to house them until New Year or face worse.

Observers watch how fear twists hospitality into hostage games.

A black comedy made in 2001, it leaves the door slightly ajar.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, bittersweet, paranoid, unhinged
