Eight-year-old Bruno finds it very interesting that his father, Daan, routinely wants to shave his beard and head before he leaves on a dangerous military mission in a desert country far away. This time, Daan lets Bruno shave him. Along with this intimate way of saying goodbye, we see what happens to Daan on his mission through Bruno playing with his toy soldiers.

All over the world, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are at war. Thousands of them die. While reading about those numbers in the news, one easily gets overwhelmed by the dazzling figures; we tend to forget that 5,000 dead soldiers really means 5,000 times one human being. Five thousand fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters. Kiss tells the story of one of those fathers. Daan is leaving on a mission and says goodbye to his son Bruno in a remarkable manner. Kiss is a delicate short film about paternal love and loss.
