I am looking for an animation.
It is about a farther who left his daughter at the beach and the farther sailed away. The daughter then carried on with her life but always returned to the same spot where her farther left her. Later the daughter grew old, so she took action. She crossed the sea of the beach (which turned into a grassy field) and found the boat her farther was in. The daughter then died of old age but in her death she sees her farther. The two of them then reunited.
It sounds wierd but the last time I watched it, the short was really good and touching. I forgot the title and the person how made it but the short is a couple of years old, I think.
If anyone knows the name of the animation I am talking about please tell me. I will be very greatful.

ReplyDeleteThat really is very touching, especially at the end when she goes back to being youthful as that signifies that she is no longer of a material state, as any of us can go back to any age/point in our lives in our minds.
ReplyDeletei like the comments that says: 'The story can be seen as a metaphor. The father leaving on a boat signifies his death and the images of the daughter watching for him to come back is signifying her always thinking about him throughout her life. Towards the end when the now elderly daughter begins to travel through the overgrown, dried up riverbed is supposed to explain that she has died and is now travelling in the afterlife to see her father once again...'
