      Yes. It is a sad video isn’t it! But very clever. I think this video shows a mans soul. He will do anything to make the woman he loves happy and healthy!

    He tries to refresh his wife memory and soul with the dream world of hers. And he hopes she will revive one day.

        Yes,I did. I followed every scene. It made me eager to know the end of the story. And I liked the effect or technique in making this film.

            Hi Ayesha
            I like your idea. I hadn’t thought of that. Yes, he can do such amazing things – he can create a whole city, but he can’t help her. Quite a sad story really! Thanks for your comment!

    He tried to make a beautiful world through technology hoping that his wife will struggle to wake if he keeps reminding her that the real world still exists and it is beautiful.

      Hi Maria
      Wow! I love what you wrote! I like how you said he is trying to remind her of life – those are very powerful words!
      I think we all get lost sometimes in life and need someone to remind us of life and all the good things it has.
      Great answer – thank you for sharing!
