God's Eye was adapted to film by Caroline Brandes from a short story
by German writer Wolfgang Borchert. Borchert died in 1947 of his
war injuries at the young age of 26. The subject of God's Eye is
timeless, even though it is set in WWII. It deals with the absurdity
of war and the suffering of civilian's as a result. It questions
the existence of a God who lets war happen.

spice up the medievel world of the King, Queen, maidens and Blackguards
in this short video.
