The world is moving towards a water crisis of staggering proportions. As our population continues to increase manifold, the sources of ground water are depleting at an equally rapid pace. It is this reality that the film wants to make the viewer realise by over-pronouncing and emphasising it in a world that is already battling severe and life-threatening scarcity of water.
In a realm that represents the harshness and barrenness of a parched land, those in pursuit of water fight for survival. The storytelling comes across as a sincere, dedicated endeavour to invoke a dystopic world marked by the survival of the fittest as characters resort to slitting each other's throat or even drinking their own blood as long as it extends their life, even if by a few minutes.
Further, the aridity of the blasted heath finds an echo in this story marked by a complete absence of dialogue. The visuals of the film are notable, perhaps its strongest aspect. However, it could have gained from a little tautness in the narrative.
