Rituals Under a Scarlet Sky
Synopsis
A lone gunman perched on a rooftop grows bored while awaiting his next victim. A mother records a video for an audition for a televised singing competition. A young girl carries water containers and must cross a dangerous area before nightfall. Distant explosions echo, nothing alarming. Time stands still, allowing the three figures to find refuge in their luminous dreams. The sun will set soon, carrying them away. RITUALS UNDER A SCARLET SKY tells the tale of a daily life where hope survives despite the tragedy that attempts to engulf it.
