Herø (2001)
Paul Whittington's moving short tells the story of a young soldier who returns from the Falkland's War emotionally scarred by what he has seen. That the tale is told through the eyes of his adoring younger brother makes it all the more heartbreaking.

Reviews
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
