Land mine - Short Film
synopsis
Land Mine is a short film written and directed by Darren Statman and produced by the Tickled Pink Group. The film's fictional narrative is based on historical facts and records, and it tells the story of Samuel, the only surviving member of his family from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. After enduring the horrors of the camp, Samuel returns to his family’s farm in Poland, only to find it occupied by Piotr, a labourer now involved in a moonshine business. Piotr considers himself the rightful heir to the farm and the surrounding land. Samuel's return disrupts Piotr’s new equilibrium, leading to escalating violence and resurfacing painful memories and past traumas for both Samuel and Piotr.
The Tickled Pink Group and Darren Statman are developing a feature-length film of Land Mine based on the short film.
