To be blunt, I've no idea what did I just watch. At one point, the main character in this short became spider-man from my perspective, at one point somewhat resembling the girl from The Ring from. The animation is accompanied by a piano that performs a minimalistic composition that does not have a much logic behind it in terms of harmony, but it does seem to follow some kind of structure, or so I feel. It doesn't sound completely random, and rather seems to have been written to create an eerie atmosphere for the viewer.

It lasts less than 4 minutes, and still it's hard to watch. Pace of the music is annoying, design is disgusted and dance too emotional, so it seems that the character is hysterical woman.
