Her name is Persephone. This film is an allegory about duality, bipolarity, death- rebirth in a spiritual level. Persephone in ancient Greek means the one who brings death but she also brings life. It is the way nature works through the change of seasons. This myth- one of the most mystical and symbolistic- appeared in many paganistic ceremonies and it has inspired many people into creating different versions in every form of art. This is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric adaptations.

@ frisianS: I totally agree!!!! It does seem a lot like The Ring, doesn't it...

[Gmontemurro]

Powerful work, Mr Beamish! Can't wait to see more.

Not unlike the videotape in the movie The Ring. If I die in seven days at least I'll know why. But seriously, amazing imagery. Like a surrealist painting done on celluloid rather than canvas. Very brave. Well done.
