A touching little fragment, this low-key fantasy from director Darren Perry showcases his trademark focus on English greenery once more, this time as a backdrop for a concise tale of the lightly supernatural. Eschewing shocks for something more subtle, the film is simple but well-paced, nicely directed, and particularly impressive in its imagery and framing - shots of the male lead positioned within an arc of leafy branches, close-ups of the talismanic stone animal which may or may not act as a portal between our world and that of the dead. The storyline may be a familiar one but bears repeated telling, and while there is insufficient room within a ten-minute span to truly detail any relationship between the characters, a connection and a sweetness is conveyed nevertheless. A change of pace for Darren, and a welcome one.
