With death closing in on him quickly, an elderly monk regales to his novice a story of his youth. It was the height of winter with snow and ice everywhere when he spotted a young girl floating in the river. He manages to drag her out then goes to fetch her some warm clothing. Upon his return he finds she has gone. Many months later, he is fishing when she pays him a more lively visit and they fall in love - but his own elderly master is watching over him and so, well... With Jacob's ladder bringing the short story to an end, what did actually happen to our would-be couple? Culminating in a threatening storm sequence, there is much religiosity to this story with many of the animations of the older characters looking like they'd been drawn by Michelangelo. Dark and grainy images, this time augmented by some powerful audio, make for a compelling ten minutes of drama from Aleksandr Petrov.
