Synopsis:

Harbor Tale presents a contemplative narrative centered on an aged red brick, personified through a blend of stop motion and computer animation. This unique perspective allows us to experience time through the brick's consciousness, rooted in its long history overlooking Yokohama's harbor. The story unfolds against a backdrop of fading urban life, evoking a sense of quiet observation and melancholic nostalgia. We witness glimpses of the past – bustling streets echoing with traditional sounds and the arrival of ships – filtered through the brick’s enduring presence on an old building. The animation style emphasizes texture and subtle movement, creating a gentle, atmospheric experience that explores themes of memory, place, and the quiet dignity of everyday existence within a changing world.
