The scouts
Post-apocalyptic green miracle story—sounds like consensus Terrence Malick fan fiction, except Fassel lets lightning do the heavy lifting instead of philosophy, which is genuinely weird and kind of brilliant in its refusal to explain itself.
A two-minute meditation on regeneration that knows its debts to both mythic renewal narratives and contemporary climate cinema, executed with the formal restraint of someone who understands that suggestion often outlasts spectacle.
The entire film hinges on how Fassel lets the lightning itself become a character—that single visual choice, the decision to make creation violent and electrical rather than gentle, transforms what could've been sentimental into something genuinely mythic on a two-minute budget.
