Forging the Swords

In an utterly dark society, violence becomes a spectacle, and sacrifice hardens into ritual. The victim is driven to self-destruction, in exchange for no more than a phantom of justice. In the end, the victim, the perpetrator and the resister are all swallowed up. Justice sinks into an absurd historical memory. There is no judgment, only a legend remains.
