REVIEWS:
Honestly I want this to be a series. Like, what if each episode is a new ‘truth’ revealed by the candle? I’d watch that.
William Garcia
I follow AI-generated cinema, I say: this short is impressive. The lighting, the faces, even the candle flame, it all feels strangely alive and painterly.
Hugo Gessaga
The candle as a metaphor for memory, guilt, or suppressed trauma
Samantha Edwards
An interesting animation. The visuals are done really well — emotional and beautiful. Even though it feels a bit like a spooky tale for kids, it still gives you chills. Turned out to be a real little creeper. Thank you!

In just 5 minutes, this manages to tell a full story, build dread, and hit an emotional note. That’s rare. Super tight filmmaking.
Roxana Oliveira
This gave me major Edgar Allan Poe vibes. The firelight, the cold mansion, the candle of secrets—it’s like a haunted lullaby. More of this, please!
Javier Martinez Perez
Those warm vs cold color contrasts? Stunning. The blueish window light against the fire glow—pure visual poetry.
