EVOLUTION OF VIOLENCE

A film by Fritz Ofner. Music by Jacob Kirkegaard

Guatemala. The war ended long ago. Though the people want to forget it, the violence spreads throughout society like cancer. Each day, journalists wait to report on the next murder victim, a social worker helps the relatives of women who have been killed. A war over bananas has taken on a life of its own, the society suffers from the aftermath of the 36-year civil war. Mass graves are found in the mountains, former rebels mourn comrades, and a war criminal has nightmares about what he´s done..
