What is history? Well, broadly speaking, history is everything that has happened in the past, both the deeply personal as well as the global - or even universal for that matter. Everything, the good, the bad, the indifferent, progress as well as tragedy. And only the knowledge of history enables one to not repeat mistakes from the past, even if even that doesn't always take effect due to poor leadership, politics or maybe even ideology ...

... and the film is bringing all of this across very nicely and comes across more as a meditation about the concept of history rather than an actual documentary in the narrowest sense of the word. And in its less than 8 minutes that evolve around a group of students trying to grasp the conept of history themselves, this short manages to bring across its ideas rather beautifully, in a very unexcited way and without any sledgehammer to drive its message home, it's really just a thoughtful piece that will keep you thinking long after it has ended - and that is an excellent thing.
