Watching the film today

I'd really like to complete writing the plot for this film, though as I have not seen the film I am currently unable to do this (I was able to write the current, partial plot based on reviews of the film that I read). As indicated by the article, the film never had a home media release. It was available, for a time, on Amazon Video, though is currently listed as unavailable [1]; based on reviews of the film on Amazon I am guessing it was removed as the video quality was low (which would not have bothered me as I only want to watch it to write the plot) or purely due to a lack of popularity. Despite what Netflix fan-sites will tell you the film is not, and has never been, available on Netflix. If anyone knows of anyway I would be able to view or purchase this film I would be most appreciative. Thanks. Freikorp (talk) 12:23, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've uncovered that the rights to the film have been acquired by Westchester Films [2], though they have not replied to my email requesting a way to purchase a copy from them. Freikorp (talk) 03:13, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to get my hands on a promotional DVD of the film not intended for resale and have thankfully been able to now watch the film and write a full plot. Freikorp (talk) 14:22, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The voice over the film ends with sounded like it must of been something Eberhardt wrote. After a bit of googling, I found it is a translation of her short story "The Breath of Night". For the record, the voice over reads: "In the morning the west wind arrived howling like a living thing. I had a fantasy of being lifted up and carried off in the enormous embrace of a winged monster, come to destroy us all. And the sand showered onto the terraces with the steady soft sound of rain."
