Interspersed with seemingly random episodes of tragic and happy incidents shaping their adventure interwoven into the story, the film is divided into chapters like a novella. As the brothers struggle  through their country’s barren lands with the limited transportation methods available – putting themselves in the way of motley crews of highwaymen, kinder strangers and a suicidal narcoleptic – they unwillingly embark on a remarkable journey of self-discovery and friendship. Haunted as they seem to be by unfounded desires, hope and dreams, the brothers’ physical journey mimics their spiritual paths as they begin to see certain events in their past for what they really are now. It is through poignancy and truth that The Soul of Flies shines, as Burley re-enacts the serendipitous nature of newfound relationships in dynamic dialogue – where it is often found.
