“Perdition County is a short epic set in the rural outskirts of a fictional county and tells the story of Desmond, a militia member of a pillaging movement called The Flock. Upon encountering two heathen children, he decides to defect from his band of scalp-collecting pilgrims and takes the children on an odyssey to freedom. The persistent manhunt across the county’s endless landscapes turns into a soul-searching experience for Desmond and a path to forgiveness for his crimes, as he bonds with the helpless offspring of those he once hunted and murdered for a living.
The undefined, raw landscapes serve as a conceptual representation of our world as a petri dish of sorts; which exudes episodes of senseless, organized violence. While closely following the footsteps of an accomplice in this tyrannous pilgrimage, the question is asked whether he may truly be washed clean of his crimes.” – Raphaël Crombez
