The Twilight World

At the end of the world, among the forests and mountains of the Philippines, a story closed in time and lost in space unfolded. At the end of 1944, Japanese troops began to retreat from Lubang Island. Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda received a fate-changing order to hold the island at all costs until the Imperial Army returned. There is only one rule: it is forbidden to die by one's own hand. In the event that you are captured by the enemy - to mislead. This is how Onoda's journey began - a journey through decades of fictional war.
In the book "Twilight of the World", Werner Herzog immortalizes Onoda's years of absurd struggle. A soldier who became a character in his own novel, and among the web of fictional battles and real trials created a tragic symphony of life against the background of a boundless forest and immortal time.
