The frame opens to a blinding snow field in a dead desert. Two little boys cut through the screen, like crows through milk, playing and wrestling.

Thirty five years later, one boy – Pharitanez, becomes a hunted animal, a GIP, another, a predator, paid to kill. A world in which they co exist, although in the future, is not too different from our own.

The deteriorated Earth is heavy with 25 billion people. Air and water are the most precious commodities, value of gold. Technology, with all its genetic innovation glamour is inhumane. Politics are an illusion and corporations are a new religion and the state police, all in one. Everything is in the state of outmost decay.

In the life of Kadge everything is straight forward. Two plus two equals four and so forth. He doesn’t ask questions, he simply kills. Until one day, an unusual rendezvous turns his world upside down.

He meets a beautiful woman, named Karna, who, her self is a GIP. She lives amongst all of us, hiding exquisitely, even working for the state. Kadge begins to court her, instinctively knowing that he is on a hunt. Unwillingly, they fall for each other. A tense passion, like magnets of opposite charge.

On the night their desire is consummated, he brutally murders her. From that point on, his soul cannot find rest and his mind refuses to accept old logic. He makes a series of dangerous, even fatal mistakes, culminating in the loss of his privileged status and possibly, even his life.

Pharitanez’s life is much more complex, at least, in terms of survival. Worse off than an animal, he is faced with having to hide from every single soul around him, knowing the brutality of the laws, imposed against him by the state. It’s every citizen’s civic duty to kill a Genetically Inferior Person, immediately, upon contact.

His otherwise bleak existence is illuminated by the presence of a 9 year old girl. Liza, who is also a GIP. When he decides to abandon her in order to escape to an island free of persecution, he makes his first grave mistake. His already inflamed imagination is hardly handling all the consequences of his choice, but what he doesn’t know is that Liza made a choice of her own. To follow him to the end.

As Pharitanez gets closer and closer to his goal, a military ship bound for a relatively safe island, we begin to realize the fragility of his enterprise, that now, seems to be doomed from the start.

By chance, both Pharitanez and Kadge end up on the same ship dock, amidst a dense crowd of people. Liza is close at their heel. Pharitanez, chasing after a military ship – an illusion of freedom, Kadge, trying to prevent his 2 subordinates, also killers, from raiding a GIP cell. Events unfold with lightning speed, now.

Liza loses sight of Pharitanez forever and is caught by the 2 exterminators. Kadge is gaining up on them, against the current of the crowd. Pharitanez nudges closer and closer to the ship, on a verge of a nervous collapse.

As the 2 exterminators are about to kill Liza, Kadge is able to catch up and kills them both, on the spot. Suddenly, the city loud speakers go off, announcing the end of the war (a clever trick by the state authorities, similar to what Germans did in Krakow. This information is known to the audience from earlier in the film).

Pharitanez is right next to the ship, when the announcement goes off, still clutching the brick that he picked up at the beginning of the journey. A well dressed man separated him self from the crowd and runs towards Pharitanez with open arms. The word “Brother” falls from his lips. The man embraces him.

With an empty face and absent eyes, Pharitanez raises the brick over his head, then begins to hit him uncontrollably, until the man’s face becomes a bloody mesh, inseparable from the concrete.

Thus, the stories of the two little boys end, with only 10 meters separating their wild fates.
