Note: For best experience watch in a dark room, on a decent sized screen, Sound turned up loud or in headphones.

A short film by Paul Lieber and Ben Quinn,

which is a French setting of a poem by Konstantin Balmont.
The original Russian title of Konstantin Balmont's apocalyptic poem, Звездоликий (Zvezdolikiy) literally means "Star-face".
