Something to watch; Lo budget SciFi but very good acting, decent effects and an interesting story. Pulls you in.

A middle aged inventor develops in the 2nd half of last century a lamp that shows another, fantasmagoric, world, populated by departed souls.

Apparently his lab is located in his basement where in the walls hang pictures of his deceased family and mementos from "the great war" (WWI); there he perfects the device which is then made portable and the guy goes inspecting an abandoned building, probably an old school used by the armed forces for entertaining.

Inside there's a misterious tormented being that is threatening but also some gentle phantoms that are having a good time in a ball.

Eventually he reunites two lost souls that are a couple in the photos on his wall, guessing his parents.

The short has no dialogs and lasts less that it took me to write this to meet the idiotic 600 char minimum.

Sorry for the spoilers, IMdB made me do it. 😄

This is a timeless masterpiece which I stumbled upon and after sharing 1900 people on my Facebook agree. No word required means accessible to all peoples in all countries. The visual style and cinematography and direction must mean big things ahead for this team. It feels like you are in the X-Files and a Torchwood episode but with a loving style that seems in a class of its own above both of these series.

Some of the strange things that happen are quite surreal and yet the subject of the paranormal is treated with an almost scientific clear headed mentality. I felt that more could be said, a movie or a TV series to extend this concept. It did really feel like this was part of a Ghostbusters offshoot - perhaps more of what we should have been given instead of Ghostbusters 2016! Just imagine what this director could have done with millions to play with instead of Sony blowing it all on wasteful Paul Feig.
