Abel

In Belarus, a group of enthusiasts made the film "Abel" as a kind of message of peace. Starting from the first recorded murder of one person by another (the Cain and Abel brothers), the author of the film tried to create a situation in which the next organized war appears in all its futility and anti-humanity. The main points are not military scenes, but rather the relatively innocuous thoughts of the main character: El Pablo against his will was sent to war, with people to whom he does not feel hatred. The film "Abel" stands out primarily for its alternative approach to short films, while preserving at the same time many of the principles of the art genre.

Early morning silence is broken by screeching tires as a helicopter bears down on a speeding vehicle. Taking a quick corner, the team tumbles out into the woods as their car pulls away. Now they must make their way through the thick of nature and thick gunfire to accomplish their mission. Not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the entire film. Instead, the music, sounds, images and deeply truthful acting turn a simple plot into an intense experience. Passion and intrigue keep building to the very end.
