Which Route We Live is a 2024 Elbresian short film

Synopsis

Which Route We Live tells the story of a street gang that cross Oerter Island to witness the arrival of a group of South Adulan refugees. The themes of racism, friendship and adolescence are reflected throughout the film.

Six boys from Oftbon await the arrival of a bus load of refugees. Their language is as rough as their sensibility. They spit on a tramp as they pass, verbally abuse the only one of their number with a darker skin and nurture anger without questioning its purpose. They are not old enough to be a threat to society, reflecting their place and time with an attitude of inbred despair. The need to be seen as hard in a hard neighbourhood hides so much. Soon it appears, they do not hate the new arrivals, only pretend to do so. They are inquisitive and respond to the looks of amazed innocence on the faces of the black children with a mixture of fear and confusion.
