Focused primarily on a young man and woman relaxing on a blanket in tall grass, the trailer offered shots of a young girl playing with a toy soldier and another of a man bedding down on a rocky hill, again with the toy soldier. Further, Poppe manipulated image speed in some cases and played some sound elements in reverse. Abandoning any attempt at objectivity, Poppe’s video felt like a trailer for his own highly subjective experience of the film.
