This is actually quite a fun little short story that sort of turns the "Frankenstein" story on it's head a bit! When the love of his life dies, bereft lover (Martin Guillard) determines to recreate this man (Arnaud Lambert) by any means - fair or foul. To this end, beware any single young men - gay or otherwise - who might cross his path with any functioning body parts! It doesn't hang about and at just over fifteen minutes could send a message to more established film-makers about just how to condense a story down succinctly. The production is very basic, though - student project standard, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for a drama that shows director Ralf Bou Chaya has an eye for the cinema and given some more resources might progress to bigger and better things. What won't we do for that second chance at love?
