The cross-epochal war drama about people leaving for war, while their loved ones have to wait, hope and grieve, often without a clear answer to the question "why?". The movie showcases three epochs - Late Medieval, Present times and Future 100 years plus. As eras change each other the fundamental questions still linger and the war never changes. Each part pursues a balance between conflict in family, war conflict and some supporting scenes. Being largely about morale and care of beloved ones the movie is also highly cinematic with vivid battle scenes, special effects and place for hope. Various approaches were applied and tried to achieve strong opposing points of view, arguments and attempts to understand each other. While male nature is depicted like more brutal and desperate, female characters vary from part to part. 100% AI video. Used Kling AI, Chat GPT, Suno, Topaz Video, iMovie.
