Sniper

In an unnamed country, a group of fugitives flee their native village after an attack by the army,.seeking sanctuary across the border. In the winter ice a man tries to unearth the remains of his parents from a mass grave, determined to take them to a proper burial place. A sadistic military commander, before a group of young officers and the terrified women they have abducted, outlines a terrifying plan of torture, rape and murder in order to prop up his country's crumbling empire. Meanwhile, in an underground gallery, a sniper hides, picking off innocents in a besieged city. His apocalyptic, hallucinatory voice provides Sniper with its main themes, the insanity of war and the terrifying exhilaration it excites in its perpetrators.
