Empty Shells

Empty Shells tells the story of four young boys coming to grips with their town and their relationships becoming a battleground overnight. It is a complicated story steeped in ancient history and a hundred political positions. It is a story of war and departure, of migration to a new country to save the only thing that is left -- the children. Variable cast.
