Kaputt

A "readic scening" about war and rebuilding.

This village is ...

When news of war's end reaches a village ravaged by a stray bomb, the few remaining villagers work together—and against each other—to rebuild. Their desire for a safe and happy future is muddled by differing ideas of what a safe and happy future should look like.

Will the village rise like a phoenix from the ashes and lay the foundation of peace? Or is everything ... kaputt?
