Killing Time. Between boredom and war
Deep in the rocky Californian desert lies a small military town named Twentynine Palms. Neighbouring a large marine corps base, it welcomes troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan all year around.
On leave or already back to training, these young man kill time by themselves, among brothers in arms or with their family, in a surrounding constantly reminding them of the warzone they just left behind.
The banality of everyday life shows how difficult it will be for these men to reclaim a life that will seem forever foreign.
