A war hero's secret: what horrors hide inside one farm building?
Tom was a soldier, a British veteran of an anonymous war from the 1990's. Whilst serving, soldiers under his command were separated from the rest of his patrol and ambushed. His search for them leads him to a traumatized soldier, shaken and confused by something he has seen inside a farm building. Tom enters the building. What happened in there will haunt him forever. He returns a decorated hero but he can't forget.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The anonymous 1990s setting deliberately evokes Balkan conflicts, avoiding easy moral frameworks. No 'good war' here.
The farmhouse sequence was shot in a single 23-minute take; Whitelock broke down genuinely after cut.
