An inspiration and narrative axis of Bartek Kulas's animation is Nick Cave's psychedelic ballad "The Curse of Millhaven", here in the captivating interpretation of Katarzyna Groniec. It shows a macabre, sometimes surreal story of a 15-year-old Loretta, whom the greyness of life in a provincial, dull town of Millhaven propelled towards a murderous dance.
