Each represents the extreme of man’s humanity and inhumanity to man.

However, your [script] And We Were Left Darkling stood out from all the others with its uniqueness and originality so our jury decided to give it a Honorable Mention. Congratulations!” Budapest Film Festival.
EICHMANN
In his capriciousness, their God gave His chosen people some vague rules,
ten “Thou shalt nots” and a gnawing conscience.
Then He abandoned them to a world molded by a new God: the God of Power, Macht.
