Baghdad Castle is a visual poem pretending to be a quest. The Chiyogami cutouts and spotlight technique create a stage that breathes, where every frame feels composed rather than drawn, black paper, light, shadow, and silence doing the work that dialogue never could. It's a silent film that learned to move, built for people who understand that animation doesn't need to be loud to matter.

To earn the right to marry a princess, a man sets out to slay a wicked dragon and take the precious magic stone it guards. When he makes his way back, he discovers that Baghdad has fallen to invaders, and he has to turn the stone's power against this new foe. The film is a single-installment adventure with a romantic thread at its center.
