A very cute little short OVA type animation. It had a very simple story, but was very touching. There were no words, but they did a good job of bonding the characters with each other. A very quick look at a melancholy life story. 10/10 on the sound because of the beautiful classical music (It reminded me a lot of the theme from Howl's Moving Castle).

A melancholic yet very kind story. No dialogue, only moving pictures accompanied with a piano. The depicted locations, the gestures the characters share among each others, the story as a whole, all of it was very pleasant to watch. The tale of this short movie is very simple, but also very relatable, as it reminded me of many, many old people I've met throughout my life who shared similar stories as this one with me. I'll watch this short movie again for sure, as it reminded me that despite it's rough patches, life is still wonderful.
