How it happens, in words. No pictures yet.
Buries a dead Iraqi soldier and parts ways with the other.
Lost in the Iraqi desert during the Gulf War, American soldier Cox picks his way through a minefield and comes face-to-face with Iraqi soldier Mohannan (Elias Koteas). He can't pull the trigger after seeing Mohannan look at a family photo. A poison-gas warning forces them to cooperate; the film ends with the two burying a dead Iraqi and going their separate ways.
30-minute short, Oscar-nominated for Best Live Action Short.
