What Happens Before War?

What Happens Before War?

戦争のつくりかた

A group of children play innocently in a field, unaware of the dark forces gathering around them. Their laughter contrasts with the distant sounds of marching boots and the cold, calculated movements of adults preparing for conflict. The animation follows the gradual transformation of a peaceful society into one consumed by the machinery of war.

Through stark visuals and minimal dialogue, the short depicts how propaganda, fear, and blind obedience turn ordinary people into participants in destruction. The children's games become a haunting parallel to the adults' deadly preparations, raising questions about how easily humanity can slip into violence.
