Is it the theme of traditional documentaries and feature films in animated movies? Is it possible to depict the barbed-wire life of Nazi concentration camps as hellish through this medium? Richard awaits to be proven wrong. His early films, as he was told, are considered cinematic. Among them, one holds a special place—"Apel"—the story of a group of unarmed prisoners of war during World War II who were shot during daily roll call for disobeying orders. The film's power lies in its expression, raw material, and stark black-and-white plastic reality, yet far from natural.
This film refers to the drama during the Nazi occupation. The Gestapo tortures the concentration camp prisoners in "Apel." Orders are constantly thrown: "Lie down! Get up." One person resists and is immediately shot. This is when other prisoners flinch. Gina. Survives while others steel themselves. As the orders increase, more are also shot dead.
