A Renaissance fight between two fighters challenging discipline towards the ultimate reality in combat.

The action takes place in a beautiful old Victoria building during the renaissance period. We are introduce to two people Gunther and Bernetta. Gunther is a male in his mid 20s. Dressed in bright rich cloths. Very ambitious person but doesn't have the experience of fighting real opponents. From the way he appears and reacts around people is calm and good sportsmen. Bernetta is a female fighter in her 20s. She is dress in noble cloths. A quiet but deadly foe. She has an icy stare, Isn't afraid of getting hurt. The fight would be a battle of skill which explains the reason of fighting indoors to evade any attention. From the beginning both fighters seem to start on good terms, giving us the feeling that the dual wasn't cause by defense of honor. The first part of the short is the warm up fight. It begins in the room we first meet the fighters and would continue along the building. This will show their fencing techniques from both fighters and how patience they are with their strikes. During the fight both fighters lose the swords through a crack, Gunther knows where that crack leads to. The final part takes place in a underground tomb where both fighters race to retrieve their weapons. They continue the fight this time with more energy. Both of them show no remorse for each strike they inflict. With every strike and every deflections testing their endurance the question remains - Who will endure the most?
