Barbara Ohana's song "Chains" is dubbed by a man who performs the song while the music video also presents him as the main character in a story where he feels broken-hearted, possibly because he still has feelings for his ex-boyfriend. As for the memories left, a masculine mannequin is what makes him company, which helps a little but not for too long.
A journey of self-discovery and understanding is told through the optic a young and lonely singer whose life goes through a curious change when he falls in love with a mannequin. With Barbara Ohana's songs - dubbed by the leading man - a unique and different perspective about personal self versus the images we project onto others can be found. The short was conceived for a fashion brand that presents a part of the LGBT experience.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
