A haunting, philosophically dense meditation on mortality, purpose, and the exploitation of youth, wrapped in aerial combat and existential dread.

Youngsters called Kildren, who are destined to live eternally in their adolescence. The Kildren are conscious that every day could be the last, because they fight a war as entertainment, organized and operated by adults. But as they embrace the reality they are faced with, they live their day-to-day lives to the full.
