Synopsis:
Set against a backdrop of shadowy cityscapes and melancholic beauty, this short animation explores themes of isolation and fleeting connection. The narrative follows a solitary figure navigating a world steeped in muted colors and subtle anxieties. The experience unfolds through evocative visuals and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack by ZUTOMAYO, creating an atmosphere of quiet contemplation. Relationships are portrayed as delicate and fragile, existing within the larger context of urban anonymity. It's a visually rich exploration of emotional landscapes, prioritizing atmosphere and introspection over traditional plot structures. The animation invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of human interaction in modern life and the pervasive feeling of being unseen.
