Description:

Two cities inhabited by household items begin a terrible, destructive war with each other. For adults.

At the time, the militarization of space was a big concern due to the so-called "Star Wars program". Also, there was an accident involving an Air France aircraft in June 1988, which may have influenced the plane's appearance in this film.

The video above (which is not of the best quality) was uploaded in the wrong aspect ratio, and this site attempts to correct it. However, it may still be a little off.

I think I like this one less than Mailyan's previous film "Planet 888", although I can't say I dislike it. The direction is dynamic, but the poor video quality of the only copy I could find makes it a bit hard to watch. Though very different in technique, they are both about the evils of war (which, in each film, appears to be civilization-ending). In this film, though, the war itself takes up a much bigger amount of time.
