Medical Field Guide or Rules of engagement with native e-girls

synopsis

What does a drone pilot operating on a peacekeeping mission in an unnamed country see on his monitor? We are slowly getting used to the stream of variously distorted images of so-called strategic targets. Along with the ability to see human beings, animals and landscapes in crumbling shapes, sensitivity to who is watching is increasing. The poem Three Economic Units by Tomáš Čada is the source for the film.
