I think this could have been summed up to the first four minutes, taking advantage of some of the more subtle visual and auditory queues that go through too quickly. For example, besides the map showing the two countries ranting over a bone, the shuffling of the deck mimicking the sound of gunshots is a brilliant idea that wouldn't need to have the cards literally flying and firing afterwards.
And so, the clapperboard, signifying the movie initial credits as well as the artificial staging behind the political conflict, cuts the short film in two, from then on consisting of a set of almost bizarre sketches that never completely see through (pun intended) the idea of joining opposing forces for survival.
