As She Stares Longingly At What She Has Lost is a hauntingly lovely short by Philp Van. The piece touches you emotionally in every way from the music to the visuals. It has a very clean look going from a very innocent storybook setting and ends with a much more sinister tone brought on by the great special effects work from Method.

It’s quite a mesmerizing piece where you want to watch over and over again to pick up all the subtle nuances. Prepare yourself for a good cry.
