Is there anything more unspectacular than collecting water? Or is there something? Although the task is simple, it takes about 45 minutes here, in what feels like real time: the man travels through tiny streets with a dog in tow, picking up glass bottles from bright entrances before descending down to a shadowy river..

The only sounds of the night were the clinking of bottles and the distant thud of firearms, so that must be why the man encountered no one and why everything is as peaceful as a painting, like what the boy sees from the window at the beginning, a village taken from a fairy tale. As much as it would be tempting to label this "reality," with all the long tracking shots and intense greens, red, and yellow colors, even the terrain looks like a stage set because of the strange lighting.
