A young man fighting in the war gone by awakens from potentially fatal slumber to be faced with the world as it is now - a tense and divided place with echoes of his own past ringing in his ears. HIRETH is a film set in two worlds, the one which we know and one which exists only in the mind of a young soldier violently shaped by war. It is a film about the past and the present colliding with fatal consequences.
