The story follows a girl who's life was changed by war and by a specific captain that meant everything to her - his name was, symbolically, Phaethon (more about that below). We witness her journey to the grave of the one she loved, and as she travels she relives the horrors of the war again - from being taken away as a child, to having to fight after losing the one she cared for the most.

Category: Horror *unconvincing grin* cause wars are scary and loud. Jokes aside, war is horrifying, and from my perspective this is an "unconventional" view of the horror category.

The name is derived from the myth of Phaethon. I don't really know how I stumbled upon this myth, but I found it interesting. At his death, his sisters cried tears of amber, which was a symbol of his life. There are more myth-references (also WW2 references) in this AMV, but the eye color should be the top one. Phaethon means "the shining" or "radiant one", derived from Greek.
