...about life or greed or the price of the sacrifice of the other. Beautiful like many stop motion animations. Amusing. And dramatic. Well crafted and vechicle of noble story. Matches, a cigarette and an ashtray. The team work. The single match near its box. The decision of majority. And the final like a Hasidic story. Short, a lovely parable.
