Description: Two men have chosen to live a life of almost total solitude; shift- working a logging machine in a vast remote forest. Each resentful of the others presence, they refuse to acknowledge in full the existence of the other. Against the backdrop of some unspecified global conflict they cling to a monotonous, unyielding routine of work, eat, sleep. When one of the workers abruptly disappears without explanation the other is left alone, devoid of all human contact. He elects to carry on with his routine and becomes prone to increased fatigue, paranoia and experiences a strange visitation.

Cineworks: Commissions five short films a year by new filmmakers in the genres of drama, documentary and animation. Funded by Scottish Screen National Lottery Fund, UK Film Council and BBC Scotland. Includes a training programme.
