I really enjoyed this short. In a very short time we got a very deep glance at the character's inner life.
Both serious and emotional animation. Alzheimer's disease is maybe the worst that exists. Because nothing can hurt more than forgetting the loved ones and all people you knew whole your life.
A remarkable piece of animation that eloquently deals with two separate timelines, yet deals with them both with sensitivity and honesty. The use of song to deliver dialogue seems to add to the vulnerability of the character and the animation adds an innocence to it that's endearing.
