English A CGI visual mayhem in a beautiful stunning gothic cathedral! A seven-minute orgy with a deep idea and an interesting denouement. Very engaging. 8/10. ()

English A beautifully atmospheric short precisely combining the musical component working with a choir with visually stunning otherworldly visuals, where every second is charged with anticipation, mystery, and fateful choice. It is actually a short fantasy with mysterious content. The film, while stunning visually, only hints at having a plot, allowing for multiple alternative interpretations of what is seen. Overall impression: 90%. ()
