simplemente gracias, haz tocado mi corazón, me muestras lo que soy y en lo que creo. Desde la música hasta el mensaje detrás de las imágenes, no he visto nada que me haya hecho vibrar tanto como tu trabajo. Desde mi y mi familia, gracias desde México.
simply thanks, you touch my heart, you show me al that I am and all that I believe. Since music until message behind of images, I had not seen anything which put to vibrate to me like how your work. Since me and my family, thanks from Mexico.

Moritz,
Thank you for demonstrating that beauty is not so much in the eye of the beholder as it is in the hands of a beautiful creator. Brimming with creativity and sublimely supported with a classically simple score. Bravo to the whole team--your old advisor

This is the kind of shortfilm I usually don't like. The storyline can fast become too sugarsweet and pointless, BUT this one is sure an exception. I really like that the storys told in a kind of "diary" way, and you visualize it great though hes style of drawing, and the ageing of hes hand.
The movie never tries to be something that it isn't, but at the same time it holds my attention (which can be hard :D ). Even more, it's a statement that you don't need highend GI renders with DoF, SSS and whatever fancy panzy newbizz techniques to make a good film = good story + artistic originality owns every time :)
Good work guys, I will keep my eyes spotted for more.

I am a 56 year old man and I'm not ashamed to say I wept, it was a most moving video and if there is any justice in this world you all should be awarded Oscar's. The music was perfect. Simply beautiful, will stay with me for a long time if not forever!

hello everybody.
Jerome: thanks for correcting the credits. i really appreciate it. and thank you for "pocketmovies". it's a great site!
Timber: thank you for your feedback. the score does not have a title. i composed it for the movie only. so i guess you could call it "the beauty of life" if you wanted. i can send you the sheets so that you can play it on your piano. just provide me with your adress in a personal mail by clicking on the names of the authors above. you should be able to send me a direct mail that way.
everybody: thank you! thank you! thank you!
we really appreciate all your positive feedback on our movie. thanks for supporting us that way.

That film let me breathless !
That is truly amazing.
Technology is one thing, creativity and sensitiveness is an other.
The childish graphic style is so relevant in here. What emphasises very much the whole atmosphere of the film is the MUSIC.
WHERE in the world did you fetch it ?
I'm dreaming of playing it on the piano.
Could you tell me the name of the song ?
Thank you so much !

Wow! I lack the words to describe my feelings. That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen on my PC screen and tears were not very far off! I can only agree with the all of the other comments: overwhelming, moving, simple yet ever so profound and hard-hitting, sensitive, powerful, brilliant! As I said, I lack the right words... Straight A's on that one guys!!!

Hi Alto!
It's the work of 7students at the German Film School including myself. I send the description and the list of the team to the admin but somehow he posted only my name. I already send another reminder but he didn't change the part. Don't know why I'm the only one mentioned here. Maybe cause I've send the file to pocket movies.
Sorry for that!
Here is the team
Moritz Bunk
Felix Graf
Patrick Kreuser
Marc Müller
Silvia Kratzsch
Christian Miletzki
and myself
and thnx to you all for your nice words!
We appreciate that! Thnx from the whole team!!

Brilliant work.. touching, subtle, wonderfully shot.. I have one important question to ask, however: I watched the movie a couple of times.. The credits at the end name Mortiz Bunk as author and director.. he seems to also be responsible for the music (might have composed it himself?!) How come his name doesn't appear on the site? Just wondering. I guess I feel that credit should be awarded to those who create! Thanks though, for a eye-opening movie-experience.

A moving and simple story, which had me in tears without me realizing it. It broke my heart with melancholic joy and quiet sadness, far more than any short film I have ever seen. The music is also gripping and truly touching.
It is really a masterpiece, animation never gets any better than this. Animation ? Forget that word. This is, simply, art. Brilliant, overwhelming, poetic. Just like life.

very inspiring. These artists came up with something that took a lot of thought and creativity and it was entertaining all the way through. Great concept!
I couldn't figure out where the 3ds max was used. Any ideas?

Animation does not get any better than this. Thank you for a wonderful bittersweet story that was poetic and moving. I wonder, what the main character's relationship with his children was like.
-Thanks

God bless you for capturing the brevity of life in such a beautiful and tasteful way. I wept through most of it and beyond. Without the peace of God in my heart it would be overwhelming but the experience for me was a wonderful reminder of what matters and what does not.

The best I've seen for a long while...you don't need the best 3D characters or world to make a great movie, just a world you can believe in...Magnificant. Congratulations to the whole team! You've gotta put it up for at least one award. DavidB

I found this film to be utterly moving. So simply, but very profound. Poignant without being trite or overly sentimental. The art work is amazing. I cried through most of the film. Fantastic!
