A film about a girl revisiting her memories of her childhood spent with her mother. Hand drawn animation set to piano music by Chopin. A film by Hyun-min Lee.

After you watch this, you might want to call your mom. -via I Am Bored

For some reason, this made me choke up and want to cry. It's not terribly sad, but at the same time, it is.

I knew just by looking at this that it was made at my school! It gives thanks to several Calarts teachers in the credits.

I knew this was going to get me. Really, it was the dedication in the end that brought the tears.
