They know all of the details: Bullets, blood, death and all. The lifeless corpses of a nation's ultimate authorities. The ground is also beginning to sway in the family home, as the parents argue. Where will it all end; Perhaps divorce and an orphanage? Just like seismographs the children perceive the menacing upheavals going on around them, and react both irrationally and aggressively from a sense of fear.

In verse and cinematic image the director recalls a childhood spent in the recent, and yet forgotten past.
