DESCRIPTION
There are no wars in the 21st century. The entertainment offered by the ubiquitous television has a brutal dimension. To satisfy the bloodthirsty instincts, the “Great Hunt” telethon is broadcast, in which life is at stake and fame and a million dollars are awards for the winner. Among the participants are hunters, who track and kill their victims and move on to the next round. The victims are selected at random. In the final, there is a clash between the desire for victory and more and more complicated emotions among the last two participants.
