The film displayed notable technical and artistic elements, and the story was interesting. The score was well done and had a celestial yet melancholic sound to it. However, the character development and cohesion of the overall film was somewhat lacking (but was understandable for a short film), and the end was predictable.
The film opens with a painting-like scene representing Anne's dream and shifts into a normal view representing Anne's reality. The use of CG and color were used well in this film to create the struggle between her recurring dream of being rescued by an unknown Byzantine knight and the reality of spending her time with a party-boy boyfriend who has no interest in her Byzantine passion. The character Anne seemed over-dramatic in her unhappiness over being misunderstood by her boyfriend and friends, which made her appear to be a weak character.
David, an Asian-American man who happens to take interest in Anne while spotting her in a coffee shop, happens to have a passion in history as well, Asian history in particular. This coincidence brings the two close together as friends, but it occurs as a chain reaction of over-dramatized events.
The film's characters start to grow at this point, though late in the film, as the friendship ends up in chaos when the boyfriend finds out about Anne's new friend. Her tempered boyfriend gets in a fight with Anne's new friend, which parallels Anne's recurring dream. The fight scene looked very nice with a CG-painting-like background and good score to support it.
