The high score stems from the fact that VERY few people scored this on IMDB and it is highly likely that the majority are the people and friends of those who worked on it. Its obscurity is sheltering it from any true criticism.
It has great sound design, no doubt about it. Outside of that, this is cheap, grainy, colorless roto-scoping style animation. There is nothing impressive.
As to the "I Loved It!" review, what you described is called "day dreaming". This short was so utterly pointless, you day dreamed through it, then gave your day dream a glowing review.
At 10 minutes it won't kill anyone to watch this. If you loved it, watch "Meat Love", another pointless short. If you want a full length movie you can day dream through, try "Rubber". I've given all three 1 star, as I don't consider What-if concepts worthy of actually being made. What if two slabs of meat fell in love? What if a tire came to life and killed things with it's mental powers? What if...
WHO CARES?!?!
In this case, with "Nothing Happens" it is: "What if two guys show up in the woods with a violin and bass, stood around until town people gathered, they then played a Jewish/Gypsy piece of music, and then the town's people left in the middle of the piece because the anticipation was more interesting than the result. The End."
How about NO?
Here is a proverb to day dream to instead (some call it meditating): "All disappointment comes from anticipation."
That took, like, 3 seconds to read, not 10 some minutes.
FYI, and this is for real, not sarcasm - my cat was mesmerized by the crows. Her IQ isn't very high. Not even for a cat. I hope that provides some perspective.
