Beautiful animation, first of all. The story is slightly eerie, curiously set, wonderfully narrated and definitely composed in a very skilled way, so that at no point during those eight minutes does it feel too short, too long or boring in any way. Very nice, indeed.

A dark short with wonderful animation. Nick Cave nailed the narration (no pun intended).
