Many aspects of this kinetic story appealed to me, including the artwork with its expressive characters (I was surprised by the number of gestures and poses created for each of them) and the background's high quality, which includes the living room that changes as the day progresses and the events change.

The story, which appears to be very straightforward (a couple is stranded in their cabin for several months), does a great job of maintaining tension, making us worry about the characters' well-being, and allowing us to feel their tender or sad moments.

The main characters are "fairies" with magical abilities, and there are spirits prowling the forest, so I realized that this straightforward story was actually hiding a more complicated world. I suppose I should read other works by those authors in order to fully comprehend that world.

In any case, this short piece, which is beautifully illustrated and masterfully narrated, was very enjoyable to me.

Very beautiful artworks. You done so much character's expression/transition poses that it's almost looks like they're fully animated!
