★★★★ · A bit too short actually · Deichbrand_1 · 2011-08-27

Nice plot, charming characters, but a bit short I'd say. Also the description added along with the video is not good actually, because it covers too much of the plot already and takes a bit out of the mystery. You should not read it ... The story is a bit artsy and the way everything had been crafted is even more so. The idea of a city boy becoming a cowboy should have been elaborated a bit more ... and was not done in a convincing way. The sound quality could have been better -- a bit too low for my tastes. Nevertheless, quite some fun to watch.
