    Immediately reminded me of Up as well. It was a really nice video and I loved the animation style!

    Heart-breaking. The silence speaks volumes but the soundtrack uplifts despite the overall sadness of the story. Well done.

    BEAUTIFUL! A beautiful short about the imperminance of life, one small event triggering a mental jurney through his life. Very sad with an isolated feel throughout but very touching =^ >

    @1alphadog1: it's not french. it was written, produced, and directed by Japanese guys. they just used a french title for some reason.

    Both a sad and beautiful story, french animation is so unique.

    Excellent example of the power of anime. Wonderful life story. THX, CR, for availing this work to our senses.

    Japanese authors are experts at concentrating a great emotional load in one single element or item. These cups are a great example. :')
