This anime is an independent short, what I have to say is that it is really worth watching. The art is simple, as you would expect from any independent, but it's very beautiful, the story is fine, simple and short, but even at 6min long, the story managed to develop a connection between the characters, a good general idea of each one and even a character development, the soundtrack is also simple and the dubbing too, but it was pretty good. I've watched other independent shorts before, but so far, this is what I liked the most. Being very honest, I thought it was amazing.

this is so incredibly beautiful. i had goosebumps when chef guy sees the girl on the intersection again.

this movie could be anything, but this is how i interpreted it:

an intersection symbolizes dilemma. the girl keeps running from her mistake, unsure if she should go back and help the kid. the guy is at first, idly standing, as he shoves his cap inside his pocket. judging from his expression, i'm assuming he didn't know whether he wanted to keep being a chef or not.

sometimes you do nothing and sit on top of your problems (the chef). sometimes you do everything and avoid the problem at hand ... (the girl). because deciding what to do is an unbelievably difficult thing. but sometimes, you just start moving. we do that because of how our surroundings influence us. and that is how the chef ran back to 'his' path and the girl decided to apologize.

this movie did something to me. i'm really glad i watched it.
