XOLA

XOLA [peace] is an experimental short film which imagines the form of demons one creates within himself, may it be human, machine or spirit. As the human race we have dark sides, we have dark issues in our lives but to progress anywhere in life we must learn to face our demons.. Xola is a story of a young man left with nothing but has everything to transform himself into a being that embarks on a discovery to understand his humanity and the corruption of the world and why the world is not at peace with itself.
