This short, from three recent graduates of the National Taiwan University of Arts, is lovely. I also like the way the little girl is depicted — she’s a bit frightened at first, but she’s not at all depicted as helpless or incapable.
Tangentially related: --they wouldn’t do that, unless they were extras in a company of The Sound of Music. --FAKE NEWS!…
Thanks. This was a great way to start the day.
Nicely done short.
No disrespect to Charles Brubaker, but may I suggest omitting his second sentence in the interest of avoiding a spoiler?
I’m struck by the fact that this Asian (Japanese?) film uses English words in signs, but not in the credits. What’s the thinking behind that?
I think it impedes comments too much if we forbid spoilers in the comments. I did add a spoiler warning to the bottom of the post, however.
The film was made in Taiwan, according to the information at Youtube.
This is a very lovely short. Thank you for posting!
If the film is set in an English-speaking place, then it makes sense that the signs are in English, even if the dialogue and credits are in another language.
this is really well-done. i love it. thank you for sharing this.
Actually a lot of Asian countries use English signs. It would not be uncommon, for instance, to walk around Japan and see the words “Market” or “Bakery” around.
Wow, this was absolutely beautiful.. very touching. Loved it through and through, and congrats to the film-makers! :)
