The Earnest Thought
1 June 2013
A father and his young daughter come along a river bank by bicycle. Then, the father separates with his daughter, rows a boat alone, and goes away from the bank.

This is an animation with no dialogue. The picture's touch is gentle and suits the tale which appears not only painful but also has beautiful feeling. The music complements the action which used accordion and piano. I was impressed by the scene where the girl is waiting for her father's return, even in the strong wind and heavy rain, the girl watches the direction of the wave. Involving the season, the young girl grew up and became an old woman however she continues being a daughter.

Finally, I think that this animation is not at all a negative work addicted to sadness. Like the father and his daughter in this story, people continue to think a person is a wonderful thing. It can be also felt in the touch with warmth and tenderness of human beings.
