This animation tells the story of a young girl who has a strict mother, making plans for her round the clock so that she could get into the best school. Just as she starts to think she has no childhood, she encounters an elderly neighbour who dares to dream.
I haven't read the original story before, so it's very new to me. The animation is very beautiful, smooth and joyful to look at. The story is fun, and makes me wonder what exactly happened that makes adults lose their innate childhood once they reach a certain age. Mr Prince illustrates that perfectly. Yet, the story also shows that good things don't last, and even if we want to hang on, we can't. It's a children's story with profound philosophy.
