Summary
An unnamed country is leaving the darkness of a decade at war, and to commemorate the armistice the government commissions a new road connecting two halves of the state. Two men, foreign contractors from the same company, are sent to finish the highway.

But both men must eventually face the absurdities of their positions, and the dire consequences of their presence
