Commentary on the film

Mr. de Vries, at the twilight of his life, seems to no longer have hope, but a strange event will bring back his memories. A very beautiful film about memory. The handcrafted stop-motion animation, made without any computer, together with the attention paid to the character's expressions, reinforces the theme of the film.
