I've cried during a movie only once in my life. But this one got me. It got me good! I used to fly kites with my dad. What I wouldn't do to be able to run to him again.

A very beautiful animated short that deals with the concept of death in a colourful and light hearted way.

This was so beautifully designed!❤ Most stop-Motion shorts have a very low level of movement. Yours is truly INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work!💥❤🙏

This short film is making my heart so touching. A kite lifted the boy to the place where his grandfather was standing. In the same way that the book lifted me up to where I wanted to go, so did the kite. I will continue to read my books without overwhelming myself.

Might be a great way to teach kids about the nature of death. Beautiful work.

Ce court métrage est tout simplement incroyable! La métaphore de la vieillesse avec les couches de papier est tellement bien trouvé et bien amené!
