Lord of the Flies

At the dawn of the next world war, a planer cr0ashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate, this far from civilisation the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange hails echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems so far from reality as the hope of being rescued.

Season: Kune 27 – July 8.
