A young soldier threatens to commit suicide to be released from the army. Revealing to us, a cruel world of cynicism and absurdity.

Synopsis

Roy sits on his bed and aims his M-16 at his face, claiming that unless he will be released from his military service, he will shoot. He is first ridiculed by his friends who believe that he’s not serious but only does it to be sent home. Then, as his friend Alex decides to deliver his message for him to their commanders, Alex is also ridiculed for having even delivered such a message to them for they also don’t believe Roy. Commander Jones is then sent down with Alex to solve the situation but he sees that Roy won’t be convinced. As the commanders learn that their superiors have heard of the situation they decide to take larger measures against the disobedient soldier, eventually leading him to a situation in which he might have no choice but to commit to his own threat.
