War Save Me
Jelmer Wristers
![]()
WAR SAVE ME gives us a raw, both alienating and poetic insight into the thoughts of P, a restless homeless man. As he roams the city in search of ways to function, he starts to long for the clarity and clean purpose of war.
A war rages inside the head of P., a homeless drifter who only finds peace in his fantasy.
Portraits of homeless people are plentiful. But what does their inner world look like? This feature film grants us a raw, cinematic glimpse into P.’s twisted thoughts. His restless wanderings through the city and the hustle and bustle of the night shelter make him long for the clarity and purpose of war. Because in real life, boredom and tension always go hand in hand. No clichés or imperative storyline, but a gritty slice of lifeexposing inconvenient and invisible aspects of our society.
