Takes place in a world where the sun and moon have stopped moving, and a knight must take part in a ritual to restart them. He goes to a desolate, ruined temple inhabited by living statues who put him through several trials. In one trial, he fights a giant, mechanical, dragon-like puppet. In the end, he completes the ritual at the cost of his own life. He sits on a throne at the center of the temple, and it impales him with spikes that suck out his blood, powering a mechanism that moves the sun and moon. It is suggested that after many years, when his blood runs dry, he will be replaced by another knight who goes through the same ritual.
The film is 20-30 minutes long. I saw it on Vimeo about three years ago, but I can't find it anymore. I think the title was in French or Spanish.
