First of all this short movie was A-Mazing and secondly your chest was equally A-Mazing!! Great work to everyone involved to make this project happen. Can't wait to see the next project they create with you!!!!
So, my explanation and my theory about the film. Spoilers. The chest is a magical portal to a fairytale world and the jewel necklace is a talisman connected with it, a magical key. The book is the story played in the chest and that was his fairytale and the same story happens it seems every time the chest opens. What opens the chest is what they’ve done, a kiss when touching the chest. They transported to the fairytale land, playing the tale, seemingly unaware of the “real world” when in the fairytale world. They act as they belong there. The talisman along with the chest seems to be a family heirloom and the grandfather along with his wife (that wore the jewel in the photograph) probably experienced the tale. His death in the fairytale transported him to the real world but the jewel stayed behind in the river. When he touched the chest though, it lighted up. Is he connected now with the chest and the fairytale world without the talisman? It seems so. It seems his fairytale isn’t over yet, he is destined to go back to save her from the enchantment. Oh, and the shadow things probably weren’t real but just a hallucination produced by the barbarians so the the couple trust them and enchant Nina. I think the story needed about 10 minutes more, but it’s a great effort nonetheless.
I like to change your theory a bit: The chest stands for the hearts of two persons, the necklace is the love, the key for it. He gave the key to her, and by believing she loved him too, they were able to open their hearts for each other. That led to a happy time with each other, were everything is beautifull and perfect. They indeed aren't aware what happens in the "real world" because they just have eyes for each other. A real fairytale. But then came the shadows... maybe they were just in their imagination, maybe they were a real threat. They stand for everything that can be happen in a relationship: jealousy, lies, cheating... whatever. But there are friends at your side, helping to defend you and your loved one from those shadows, or do they? Everyone will know, that not every friend is a real friend and that there are some barbarians out there, who are not embarrassed to make your partner to go with them. And when your partner turns against you, it hurts. It is like a knife, maybe an arrow, in your back. You feel this pain in your chest too, like there is another arrow in there. And then you die in your fairytale world, in those beautifull world where you loved each other. You wake up in the real world, alone, with nobody left to talk or support you. Alone... You want to go back, in to the fairytale world. But it is over, and your partner closed their heart, so the chest isn't open anymore. But the key to your own heart still belongs to your partner. Trapped, maybe forever, in a world you can't get back. But is the adventure over? What if there are other fairytale worlds? What if someone else has a necklace and gifts it to you? It is a story about love, betray and heartbreak. And if there is a sequel i would hope it is without Nina. At first i thougt i wouldn't understand this movie, but thanks to your theory, i came to my own. Now i am crying, remembering those fairytale worlds i experienced, and those lost necklaces...
Came here from the NerdForge to see Martina’s work in action. Didn’t know her wizard staff was in the film too, cool! Great short film, I was pleasantly surprised!
Some people prefer a happier ending, and one not so open to interpretation. A lot wasn't explained. Why did they turn Nina against Emil? What was their motivation? Who were the Barbarians? So many questions, so little dialogue. I'm still upvoting--I enjoyed the story immensely. But I can understand why some would find it too unusual for their tastes
I only found out about this film yesterday thanks to Nerdforge! ♥ Luckily, I don't have to wait that long, but I still can't wait. I'm looking forward to it so much! *o*
I came from Nerdforge but I’m only 3 minutes in and I’m already blown away by how GORGEOUS this is. You’re telling me there was NO budget here?? I didn’t expect the acting and the filming to be so immaculate. 🤯
That was surprisingly very professional. The actor playing Emil was strongly believable from the very beginning. My Norwegian is very poor; even though it's home, so I had to use subtitles. But it flowed so nicely that I barely realized I was reading them while watching it. Of course an Epic location but also the score was perfect and *not* overdone. I could have watched a lot more. But sometimes short films are just. ..Perfect, like this one. I'm also here from Nerdforge but I plan to link this in the forums. Congrats. ..I look forward to future endeavors. *THUMBS UP PEOPLE*
I have to add that I really like the grandfather. I would really have liked to see more of him. He had a presence, gravitas, that really came across. Overall, great casting and acting. I just wish that there had been more time to fill out the characters a bit. :-/
For anybody just checking this out, go watch all of the episodes about the making of this film. It's even more impressive when you see everything they went through to get this done!
Came from Nerdforge and wanted to see how the chest looked in action. Was not disappointed. I was actually totally intrigued with the film and wanting to know more of the story. Great job all.
Greetings from Nina! Nooo, not that Nina... :) Nina from Bulgaria... Seriously, congratulations...it was very cool movie! Keep up the good work! P. S. I found you with the help of Nerdforge.
Wow..... really guys. Amazing. If this is what you can do without a budget...... I can't wait to see whats next. I hope this one goes viral, well deserved.
Nerdforge brought me here, your dedication for telling such a beautiful story in such a stunning way made me stay. Thank you for your work. It's so wonderful. Never stop following your dreams.
I came here after watching Martina from nerforge build the chest and I was curious. It is a nice short movie. I absolutely love these passion projects. Visuals: 7/10 Plot: 6/10 Music: 15/10
Sent here by Nerdforge and so happy I came. It's a film that shows you don't have to spend hundred of millions of dollars to create something amazing!! I look forward to the next one. Also, loved to see Martina's staff put to such great use.
This was so beautiful I think I might have cried a little towards the end! Great job guys, I came for Nerdforge and stayed for the epic fantasy tale that I won't be forgetting anytime soon! Loved it!
If I'd come across this out of context, there's nothing in the production that would have made me think 'low budget' or 'amateur'. (And I'm glad you didn't try to make it in English for the RUclips audience or anything.)
I came from the NerdForge channel, too.🤗 I hope you do a continuation of this! I'm hooked now. I would love to know what happens next!🤗💕 thank you to everyone involved who made this storyline possible!😊
Excellent film!! Thank you to NerdForge for leading me here to see this masterpiece! I hope you make another part someday so we can see more of this epic story! Also as someone who has worked in the movie SFX industry, with so little, you were able to bring so much, great work!!!
So Beautiful and such a great Story! I love how the 3 different timelines feel as one! I heard a legend that the lost crew members still wander the forest in search of stories to tell!
Sequel! Emil has to rescue her from her enchantment!!! He can’t leave her there! Besides, third time finding her again... third time’s a charm! Thanks Nerdforge for leading me down this rabbit hole! I think I’ll stay awhile!
I love all of the Nerdforge projects and now I have another great channel to watch. Thanks Nerdforge. What a beautiful short film! I’m excited to watch more.

With budget... very nice. Without budget... incredible! I mean Wow!
Im here from Nerdforge and did anyone else notice that they used the mage staff Martina had made before too?
Timestamp: 21:31
i saw it. i even thought, isnt that the staff martina made?
I did!!!
Yeah, and I came here to comment this, lol
I was wondering about that!
Also, isn't that purple crystal her necklace too? Or did they give it too her, like as a thanks for making them things for the film?

@@jankersten4543 I like this theory a lot, great take
and the chest was made by the head witch called Martina, Of A Wizard Cult Called Nerdforge

Also, isn't that purple crystal her necklace too? Or did they give it too her, like as a thanks for making them things for the film?
How can someone thumbs down this? This is a project of passion and love.
They jelly (jealous if you don’t speak me)
unfortunately,, haters gonna hate

@@2L82Pray1 I suppose, but the thumbs down dropped before the film even started. 🤷🏽♂️
They probably accidently clicked it while scrolling. It happens
Came here from Nerdforge and twas not disappointed. In fact this lass wants to see more, maybe a sequel??
Came here from Nerdforge. Was disappointed... that it was over.
Really enjoyed it. Great job!

Who else needs a sequel where Nina and Emil get together with a happy ending.
Whit a litle help of a good witch called Martina, may be (guest star?).
