As Chinese legend tells it, every individual has an invisible red string tied to their pinky that will lead them to a future soulmate. This film places a creative spin on that proverb, using a single red thread to animate a love story.

In just four minutes Akai Ito manages to work through the romantic ups and downs of a couple. There is a confession, dating, separation and finally a resolution. There are no words or color variety, just an unbreakable string with a life of its own telling the story of the people it connects together.

This is minimalism art at its finest telling a full story with few resources, and it deserves to be viewed by more people for it's beautiful simplicity.
