I must confess I agree with the other reviewers: This short has pretty excellent animation and a great atmosphere, but the plot feels way to opaque for my personal taste.
I don't think all allegories should be crystal clear (Otherwise, where is the fun in trying to decipher the meaning of them, if the answer it's always going to be so easy?) but I'm honestly not really sure if there is some sort of meaning to be found here. (Maybe is supposed to be something existential, akin to the myth of Sisyphus?)
Also, Imdb apparently labels this as a "comedy". It's anything but that actually, to the point of being haunting.
