Eight stray teenagers, each bearing a code name, form a paramilitary squad on a remote hilltop. They are instinctively drawn towards hedonism and ferocity. A messenger delivers instructions from the Organisation: they are to look after a dairy cow called Shakira and an abducted woman from the USA known as Doctora. But their carefree time comes to an end when death pays them a visit and their position is compromised, forcing them to relocate deeper into the jungle.

“/.../ The idea of making a war film was interesting to me, but also a mirror to that time in your life that I think we’ve all shared and that’s a very peculiar, very conflicted time, which is that borderline moment between childhood and adulthood. Mirroring those two conflicts was something that seemed appealing to me.” (Alejandro Landes)

A found-footage documentary assembled exclusively out of post-socialist Romanian advertisements. Drawing from the debris of Romania’s long transition period, the film speaks about love and death, the human body and its frailty, the natural and the supernatural and of course, socialism and capitalism.
