When a traveller arrives in a small town he discovers that a man has recently died and been buried in the cemetery near his lodgings. He decides to enquire a little more deeply into the cause of his death and discovers stories of the macabre and the sinister and also of the charming maiden "Accabadòra" who's kindly interventions upon those at death's door had led to her shunning and abandonment by her community. In response to this ostracisation, she refuses to attend unto even the most poorly and when that affects a priest stricken with the most cruel of wasting diseases, they townsfolk just locked him in his church. Determined to seek the answers, our visitor breaks into that building in the hope that he will find the truth. I really did enjoy this short animation. It's attention to the detail of the mythology, the people and the colouring contributed well to a story that is quite a bit more substantial than many I've seen. If you've got ten minutes and like a solid story well illustrated, then this might be for you.
