A pessimistic view of the human fate, a universal tale of the world possessed by evil. The same piece of land is shown multiple times in different scenes. At the beginning, there is a bloody battle of swords, axes and spears, followed by plagues and conflagration. Next it becomes an arena of war, uprising and famine – observed through a cemetery wall. After a short while grains and grass sprout from the blood-soaked earth. Nature is reborn, it flourishes and presents itself in its fullest form: as summer. However, the repetition is painful and pessimistic, the world, trapped in a vicious cycle of evil, is unable to break free.
