Many literature throughout history explores the theme of human nature, and the innate savagery of humankind. This short looks into the same. It is scary how being trapped in a confined place can make of us. It is scary how we can become, how we can lose ourselves in circumstances. It is scary how we can become animals and not human anymore.
I have to admit that this short is not as fearful as, say, Lord of the Flies, with kids brutally murdering kids. But raping a corpse, really? All humanity is gone, and moral doesn't worth anything anymore.
Coming back to the film, it is very nicely done. The dark tones and dimmed lighting of the submarine gives a touch of deterioration, which mirrors the deterioration of the men's hearts. The close up on the men's faces gives a magnified view into their souls, their thirsty and desperate souls which do not care anymore about their humanity nor shame.
