Synopsis:

The arrival of spring brings unsettling changes for a quiet teenager. He begins experiencing visual anomalies – fleeting glimpses of phenomena unseen by anyone else. Initially disoriented and frightened, he slowly starts to understand these perceptions are connected to a hidden layer of reality interwoven with his own. As he navigates this increasingly isolating experience, the boy seeks answers from enigmatic figures who seem to possess knowledge of the unseen world. The narrative explores themes of perception versus reality, loneliness, and the burden of knowing something others cannot. The series presents a contemplative atmosphere, focusing on the protagonist's internal struggle as he grapples with the implications of his altered vision and attempts to reconcile the visible and the veiled.

    There really isn't much to say about this. It's 5 minutes long. Kind of a short film. A bit of a surreal piece tbh. Cute though. The animation/art at certain points was a bit wonky, but overall was pretty good. The only criticism was that at some points, the main character's head looked squished/oddly oblongated due to the animation style, but except for the awkward head, everything else was drawn beautifully. Each still was as pretty as a painting. Ya know, the kind of thing people would turn into desktop wallpapers and such. The art was beautiful, the music was well-timed, the male character was pretty interesting,in an existential sort of way. It's not overly depressing either. Sure it seems like it initially, but you quickly realize through the art and music, it's not meant to be depressing.nnOverall, it was a cute piece. A five minute what-if scenario. It was very cute and easy to watch. If you have five minutes free and nothing better to do, I'd recommend watching it.
