This short was nominated for an Academy Award. Mild spoilers will be ahead:
A simple but very effective and evocative short which is just over two minutes in length and has no dialog unless you consider grunting and strained noises dialog. The sounds coming from whoever is doing the grunting are most realistic. It sounds like someone straining at something to the utmost of their ability.
The ending to this doesn't quite match with the myth, but is powerful in any case. For a short verging on 40 years old, this is still a fascinating piece of work.
This short is available for viewing online and is well worth watching. Most recommended.
