Ireland was under British occupation, and the people of the town lived in white terror, seemingly numb, until a teenager was beaten to death. The young man finally picked up the gun... It was a little sad when he saw this, and he really had no choice in this troubled world. These IRAs have been arrested, tortured, shot, and shot traitors themselves (though as children they grew up with). This is war and you have to do it.
The war finally brought reconciliation, Ireland did not get complete independence, but the peace treaty disintegrated the original camp. Some are content with a humiliating peace, feeling that it has been hard-won; others insist on perpetual freedom. Wearing the uniforms of the British Empire, the original partners became soldiers who suppressed liberals. Under the halo of power and orthodoxy, the former trust has died, and the inner paranoia has taken over everything, so the former leader shot his own brother in pain... War tests humanity, and peace?
At the moment of execution, the director chose a very real close-up shooting, breathing, fear, the coming of death, everything is so real that people burst into tears. . .
