IT SHOULD BE US

A meeting between two kings. He alone: ​​The urban, lost, – arrogant, but still frightened by the rugged and dark terrain, in search of his comrade who is the king of the forest. He second: The king of the forest has stumbled and is left at the edge of the ditch, also lost, and without either direction or territory. About friendship and inequality. About sharing life and habitats.
