Belfast, 1971. A bloodstained Northern Island at the height of the Troubles. Catholic Nationalists and Protestant Loyalists are fighting each other in the streets, shooting, detonating car bombs. The two sides are joined by paramilitary troops, irregulars, and criminals. Gary is one of the recruits of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces patrolling the streets of the capital. During a combat, he gets separated from his squad and finds himself behind enemy lines. The night quickly turns into a nightmare, and Gary will have to face the terror and anguish generated by that fratricidal hatred.

Declaration
film director
“When I read the screenplay for the first time, many images crossed my mind, from The Warriors by Walter Hill to Escape from New York by John Carpenter. There was also that incredible scene in Army of Shadows when they were going to shoot a collaborator. I’ve stolen things from lots of films.”
