Short, sweet, and to the point. Fans of Kitamura's "Sky High" and "Aragami" will like this short film. Kanae Uotani remains compelling, beautiful (so very beautiful), and ever so slightly disturbing in her role as the Messenger.
There's not a lot of story to this. It's about men visited by the mysterious Messenger who comes to deliver a message (of course). Fans of Kitamura will recognize more than simply Kanae Uotani (who was the uncredited "Rei" in "Sky High" as well as the nurse in "Longinus" and the mysterious woman in "Aragami").
For a short film, it's got a great mood to it. It really made me wish he'd flesh it out a bit into something more substantial.
