i'm crying. it's only a minute and 49 seconds long and I'm crying. it built up the story so quickly and allowed the viewers to fill in the dots
This story is so heartbreaking, really takes you on that journey, big oof

thank you!!
I rarely cry on a sad vid that is very short... - The animation is good and the story is heartbreaking! - The smile of the husband/grandpa is very cute, how can someone hurt him like that?
This was so good! Honestly it looks so fluid, and I really liked the music. Congrats on finishing your calarts film!!

Thank you so much! I will for sure post my films in the future!
No bc the second he spilled the soup and looked so sad I was already about cry. Gorgeous film, I was holding back tears.
It was SO good. The shots perfectly capture the energy and emotion, the dread I got was great, usually films cant make me feel anything, but this was different. It feels like a scene out of a 2 hour movie rather than a short animation and it’s *great* i can’t even put in words how good it is, sorry por my poor english.
What a beautiful way to capture such heartbreak. The fact that there was so “positive resolution” is what makes it so raw and gut-wrenching.. It’s drawn so beautifully, as well 🥺🫶🏽
Ok, wow. This, this hit me. I had to take a minute to hug my boyfriend. I have a terrible habit of yelling when I'm frustrated, and this just.... out things into perspective. I'm gonna work on not yelling so much. I don't want our last conversation to be of me yelling at him. We are young and healthy but still. This hit me in the feels

Same with me. That's why I practice on expressing my feelings.
i don't think an animation has ever made me feel heartbroken, but this one utterly shattered my heart. it's so expressive in its visuals and it tells the story so well, it feels so *real* and so *genuine* and it's such a pretty style to look at too. aaagh !!
Wow! This is the first Calarts animation of this year that made me cry. Good job!
whoa, first year film? thats amazing!! the transitions are so smooth, the role of water and other liquids was huge, and you got a whole range of emotions down without using any words. lovely! keep going 💕
Wow I aspire to be able to tell a compelling story like this in under two minutes. I especially loved the shot of the bowl being washed, the hands looked so 3 dimensional.
This animation really hit me. I have a family member who is very similar to the woman in this short film, so it felt close to home. Beautifully done.
Im crying On the first hand she loved him, but on second her 'flow' aggressive chat just... because husband dropped the bowl...This small reason is not reason to shout on the one you love and appreciate. Damn, like she is a indirect cause that held her husband to death Very good, the story without voice❤
this is an absolutely beautiful animation. i'm in awe of your animation and your ability to tell such a potent story in such a short time. such a melancholy and gut-wrenching watch. i saw the elderly woman yelling at her husband over the bowl as a metaphor for how anger and split-second frustration can cause more longterm harm that you don't realize in the moment during the red haze, and even if you regret it afterwards and love the person you got angry, sometimes the harm of that anger has lasting impacts. excellent animation, and looking forward to your future ones.
this reminds me of my late grandparents. It’s so touching. Well done!!
the dread that built up watching what seemed like the straw that broke the camels back, to the hammer falling on what would become her deep regret... The storytelling here was amazing, heartbreaking but amazing.
Beautiful! The music amplifies the emotion conveyed by the animation in an extraordinary way! Great job!🎉
This is incredible! the sound, atmosphere, the meaning is so deep, this is a masterpiece, may God always bless you
This is beautiful

thank you!!
And the video has an important meaning Good job my friend 👍🏽
All the camera angles were amazing!! I look forward to what you will create , this was an incredible short animation to watch!! Ur doing great work already
Please don't ever be rude to your parents. Story was heart touching
This made me feel. The guilt, regret, being caught up of the intensity of the moment... I really felt it all. This is a powerful animation, congrats.
It's amazing how people get angry so quickly over trifles without knowing that the person you love the most is suffering. 😢
Only 1 minute in and I'm already starting to cry. Amazingly done! Love the animation and how you emphasize the scene with the woman getting bigger, the idea with the water, the camera perspectives...really love this!
That was a such a touching story. Especially the symbolic use of water as a metaphor was brilliant. Loved the animation stylize.
Wow, superb work! Amazing for your first year film. Can't wait to see what you'll do in the future.
Such a beautiful film! I love camera direction and there's so much love and care to the backgrounds. The textures are so yummy.
This is astonishing! I LOVE the water animation! And the way you used it to represent emotions and life-force is so amazing. You conveyed so much emotions without a word! Fantastic job!!!
Is amazing how you capture the emotions It hurts, it brings to audience what you want to say and that’s what make it perfect, no dialogue, just music, just movement I love this
It's a wonderful piece of art. Thanks for sharing it with everyone
idk if you have to know the feeling represented to really get this or not, but you really packed a gut punch in such a small time. Once you lose that chance to say sorry, Forever. This shit cuts.
This story is amazing . This is fantastic work .
So short, so beautifully edited and so emotional. Amazing 😥💗
This is so emotional, and I can't get ovet how solid everything looks
Beautiful animation, great job!
看這部影片真的會止不住淚水,去年阿嬤過世 阿嬤使用的水杯跟吸管至今為止也還靜靜地放在小矮桌上 不敢收起來 也不敢移位子 但是一看到卻又感覺到止不住的悲傷與不捨
Omg, that was so good!!! Such a short film, yet so complex and full of emotions! 💖 Great job!
Excellent: This is one of the superb animated films made by students from Cal Arts!!
Absolutely brilliant n well executed! 🥰
it 's a great story ! the feelings that manifest there are very familiar to me, so this story has definitely sunk into my soul❤🔥the author is super cool!
ASTONISHING!
This is so beautiful in every way
Stunning....
The dutch angle, the water ... amazing
This is so good
Muito bom! Adorei os traços e a iluminação também!
really well done all that story in 1:50 . i could see the unfolding of their long relationship
喜歡!
FIRST YEAR? You're doing some amazing work!
oh wow this made me miss my grandpa and also very very shaken the rage was conveyed well
This is so beautiful
For a first year? Seriously amazing!
WOW!!
Probably the strongest animated short story I ever saw.
好nb啊 期待下一个作品!
This makes you run to your loved ones and hug them, crying 😢
好厉害!震撼的一分钟
This vidio deserves more likes...
I actual cried on this, master piece, but still heart broken
I burst into tears
this is really good, my only critic is that some times it feels like the quiet piano music could better serviced by longer dead air between notes to match the muted tone of the animation. don't be afraid of silence if your doing it intentionally
1st year? wow!!
Greatly Nice 🥣
woow i like this short movie
💙
😍
We need to respect our family
Heartbreaking 💔 ❤ From Bangladesh
lo hecho , hecho está, y no tiene remedio...... Es el detalle que generalmente olvidamos
This is so underrated
👥️ : How could something hurt in a short period... Me : Well...
每看一次就哭一次......
Как это грустно, очень хорошо передана ее печаль :(
It hurts so much and i don't even know what is like to love and live with someone else
They have tv look like classic, but his sink is modern,, after he close the faucet the water drains,, The story is sad, the guilt is there,, but my brain have this disorder, I feel some kind of itch to my head after I see the sink full of water,, 😅😅😅
I think that’s the fastest I’ve ever cried
this is cinema
deep. and it hurts. hope youre okay
Good luck with yoru channel
Amazing! Which software do you use at calarts? Does calarts teach how to animate on paper too?
Interesting
Words can kill a person😢
Can anybody will tell me what type of animation this is I really want to know and learn
The examples of this event are repeated every day in our life… Some of them go to be a heart stroke… and some go to be a heart (soul) stroke…
哈哈从B站刷到油管 真的很棒!
muito boom🤍 você manda muito bem
This is good and all, but does anyone ever make animated shorts that aren't depressing
no “ONE” is perfect.
I wasn't expecting it to hit that hard....ouch

haha thank you MingYang!!
Abusive spouses and parents need to see this. Their loved ones can be gone in an instant, death can come in any form.
that was so fucking sad I did not ask to be heartbroken at 9 am
The art of saying a lot with very little
😮😢
Some people in the comments think that he is her husband, but I believe he is her father and he has become an old man. And for this reason, she does not like him to live with her.
why would the woman make such a big fuss in the first place tho-😭💔
Jeez she went crazy on him for nothing.
