This 3 episode series should be arriving in my mailbox tomorrow courtesy of Netflix.  It just seems like it's right up my alley.  I hope to have this finished by Monday so I can give a review.  It only received average reviews from other Netflix members, but I'm not letting that phase me. I'm really looking forward to it! =)

Synopsis:

Eiri, a talented art student, works part-time in an antique shop in a quiet part of town. One afternoon, he uncovers a delicate Venetian glass holding a startling secret within. When Eiri peers into the glass, he can see a young blond girl, her life playing out like a movie solely for him to see. Curious, he stares into the glass, hoping to learn more about the enchanting girl inside. This is Cossette, a mysterious beauty haunting the glass, waiting 250 years for someone to finally see her, and set her free. Eiri is soon obsessed with Cossette, determined to do anything he can to help her. Will Eiri see past all the illusions and discover the tragic truth about Cossette, or will he be consumed by anguish and obsession?
