Synopsis:

Set within a tranquil, almost dreamlike world inspired by traditional Japanese children’s songs, this animated piece evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and gentle nostalgia. The narrative centers on the comforting ritual of sleep and the figures who watch over it. Soft pastel hues and flowing animation create a visually soothing experience, guiding the viewer through scenes of serene landscapes and intimate moments.

The work explores themes of childhood innocence and the protective presence of caregivers, using symbolic imagery and understated storytelling to convey emotional depth. It's an immersive experience focused on atmosphere and feeling rather than plot-driven action, offering a unique glimpse into a world where lullabies and gentle care hold profound meaning. The animation style emphasizes fluidity and delicate detail, contributing to its overall calming effect.
