I liked it; the narration was really good and I think it was an interesting way to adapt a short story of this sort. I can see why some don't like the 'slideshow' aspect, but I thought it was intriguing and relaxing - this was one I kept on in the background more like an audiobook, but I liked sporadically stopping to appreciate the visuals also.

Beautiful and haunting; definitely a vibe. This is really more of a reflective piece than anything. Then, search for info on "spomenik." It'll be worth your time!
