CGiii Comment

Stylised and imaginative...

The narrative is a little weak and repetitive but, the imagery and use of sets are commendable.

The(ir) Blurb...

A teenager adores his sailor friend. He dreams about the exotic countries, marvelous starry skies and the inevitable homesickness that would bring his friend back to him. In a colorful series of mythical referential images, his fragile dreams get so unreal, that the enthusiasm for seeing his friend again turns into anxiousness.
