          Narrator: Nothing distinguishes memories from ordinary moments. Only later do they become memorable by the scars they leave.

        Haunting Images and a Chilling Story

        As another reviewer said, this film is "timeless". Although it is from 1962, its story could be relevant in 1862 or 2062. The images presented show an apocalyptic world but also show happy images from another time. The story told is the main composition of this film and although it is short you become connected to the story as its eeriness makes the film unsettling at times.

        Overall, its a great film and an amazing piece of art!
