Since the other review criticizes the character I feel the need to explain the plot a little. Yes the main female is pretty selfish, that's the point. The short is about modern society's relation to its past. The spirit can't function in our current world and the woman's attempts to integrate the past/spirit is damaging.

What does “Akira”, “Macross”, “The Vision of Escaflowne”, “Angel’s Egg”, “Steamboy”, “Kiki’s Delivery Service”, “My Neighbor Totoro”, “Ghost in the Shell” “Perfect Blue”, “Cat Soup”, and “Cowboy Bebop” all have in common? Genius Party. Staff from all of those movies worked on this amazing film collective. This is one of the most thoroughly impressive things I’ve seen in both its stories and its art. All of the shorts are very abstract so don’t expect a... See full review
