Prince et Princesses

I was working on an idea for the one minute short film and I thought about a story where a guy falls in love with a girl that is trapped in time and can't move in the present, appearing like a statue.
This reminded me of a french animated movie called Princes et Princesses, a 2000 film directed by Michael Ocelot. It's a very interesting movie, based on silhouettes, and I strongly recommend watching it.
What reminded me of this film is a scene where princes from all over the world try to recover all the diamonds from a princess's necklace before time runs out. If they can recover all the diamonds and put the necklace on the princess then she will be freed from the spell she's under and she's going to marry the person that saved her, otherwise he'll be transformed in an ant.
