Johnah and the whale. Jonah was sent to Ninevah by God to help them, he refuses and boards a ship to anywhere, the ship hits a storm and the crew throw Jonah overboard, he is swallowed by the whale and puked up on the shores of Ninevah.

This was amazing. There's a culture here, a culture unlike any that we usually see in science fiction. But there's also a story. None of these characters have names, but Ms. Scotty, Black Eddie Redmayne, and all the rest of these characters feel real and fascinating. Great, great job.

[@michaeldib4029]

I am so surprised to see how many people were confused at the ending! The peacemaker ends up on the enemies planet that he previously refused to protect from the impeding doom, as he believes they are an evil race. However, the so called enemies are not as hostile as we are originally lead to believe as the end of the film shows the "enemy" building a fire and covering the peacemaker with a blanket to warm him up and protect him. When the peacemaker wakes, we see the shocked/aggressive look on his face which causes the "enemy'" to retreat. At that exact moment, the peacemaker realises what the enemy has done for him and apologises, perhaps for the hostility between their races as he realises he was wrong. Further to this theory, in the beginning we see the council the peacemaker belongs to threatening him and that they will hunt him down, even though he has done so much for them. In the end, the peacemaker/human race are in fact the evil/hostile ones.

[@Drakijy]

This short film feels more like a prologue than a complete film. However, it is very well done and flies by quickly.
