After the Shadow Play Ends, the Nymph on the Screen Steps Down – intro video

You are a lighting technician for a shadow puppet troupe in Yogyakarta. The all-night show has ended, and you stay behind alone to clear away the oil lamps, while a nymph's shadow still lingers on the white screen. You reach out to snuff out the lamp, and the shadow moves. She steps down from the cloth and stands before you, curiously eyeing the glowing phone in your hand.
