Through the division of the screen into nine cinematic frames, the film Soil narrates the journey of a young man carrying a handful of soil into the grave of a deceased soldier who happens to be burying his own dead body. With form integrated into narrative, it is possible to watch every phase of his journey synchronically. Wherever he goes, the smell of the soil remains the same.
