A man sits on a wooden bench smoking a cigarette Southern Shadows

Director: Julien Moreno

Year: 2025

In a world where blood and memory intertwine, a seasoned sensei discovers an ancient bracelet said to defy death itself. Desperate for vengeance against his wise brother now a leader who has overshadowed him. The Sensei performs a forbidden ritual to revive two fallen warriors: a pair of blood brothers whose bond was once unbreakable. But when they return, their memories are fractured. They don't recognize each other, their loyalty is uncertain, and the sensei finds himself caught in a storm of violence, betrayal, and confusion. As the brothers show threats of clash in combat, the sensei must make the impossible choice: which of the two will stand by his side to bring down his own flesh and blood. Every strike draws him closer to his revenge, yet every drop of blood reminds him of the cost. In the end, vengeance may come not only with the death of his brother but with the death of the very family he tried to control. A bloody, action-packed short film of fractured brotherhood, haunting memories, and the heavy price of revenge.
