I still remember that this short film received quite a bit of praise in the Belgian media at the time, but was almost forgotten today. Stumbled upon it by chance and I must say it was quite fun. Fascinating concept in which a deceased soldier can transform himself back to the land of the living by sending photos of unnatural deaths to a dark creature. The last witnesses of those events emerge as shadows.
Very well done with a special decor and use of color. Almost looks like a fairytale. The moral behind the event also catches on and love and self-sacrifice are central. Although I hold Peter Van den Eede in high esteem, I found him a bit disappointing here as a devil.

Inventive and imaginative and enjoyable.
Well done in any case and with a rationale of "credit where credit is due"
A young Matthias Schoenaerts, barely recognizable from his contemporary successful actor view.
