Needless to say, for a graduation work, this is a phenomenal showcase of storytelling talent. Tomoki Misato's retelling of a classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale merely takes the original's skeleton, whereas the central focus is on an entirely different angle toward psychological trauma, be it memories or permanent scars that are difficult to confront.

A 10 minutes long movie made with stopmotion technique, where almost every scene has a deeper meaning to itself. Although the story is rather simple, it may leave the viewer reflecting for a while after watching it. The creepiness is present as expected from a psychological horror and the appearance of the characters combined with the stopmotion techinique help to reinforce this feeling of uneasiness. The characters' development is ok, considering there isn't much time to give each of them the proper attention, they're still able to pass the message the author intended. For me the catch of this movie was the atention to detail, the subtlety in the enviroment, the reaction of the characters to the situations they've been exposed is too similar to real life. A movie worth watching.
