Ragnarok

2016, LIT, DEN, 7'46''

An old and proud eagle is starving in a stormy, desolate mountain landscape. Lured by a mirage, it discovers some carrion. The eagle is tempted to fortify itself, but does not go against its nature never to eat carrion. But due to the desperate and hopeless situation, the spirit of doom manages to seduce the weak eagle.

Star in ponosen orel je sestradan sredi viharne, opustošene gorske pokrajine. Mamljiv privid ga pripelje do mrhovine. Okrepitev ga mika, a se upira skušnjavi, ostaja zvest svoji naravi in je ne poje. A oslabljen orel je v obupni in brezupni situaciji ter duhu pogube mu ga uspe zapeljati.
