16 min   |   English 

Producer: Adrian Darko & Reece J. Morant

After being separated for millennia, Lucifer invites Archangel Michael to a seemingly innocent game of chess, which becomes a deeply personal meditation on the nature of good and evil, the love they once shared and their ultimate place in the world.

Two Knights is a psychological drama, conveys a sense of tension and unease within a setting where all is clearly not as it seems.
