The fine film reminding of eternity to us. The author used a fine metaphor - water which personifies this eternity: water flows overflow banks and flood everything that we left in yesterday. And we can see the person who resists to this stream and builds on the house. But this house which has grown by tens floors, and remained one-storeyed. It is small history about the small person in the small house :) In fact the house is a course of life of the character. And all of us build the houses every day. The first steps, the first class at the school, the first love, the first injured heart, a family, children... So, on bricks, there is our vital history. And with each such stage in life there is less place to opening therefore the living space of the old man decreases each time. With age at us ever less possibilities to live, as they say, "to the full forces".
Beautiful and sentimental music in a combination to animation gives such effect which not to describe words and not to create never by means of three-dimensional graphics. All is very sensual. This melody as if shrouds you in a thin web and doesn't let out any more till the end of the film.
That I saw on the screen — deprived of words, but nevertheless an eloquent narration — touching, sufficing a thin pad for any thread at heart … Perhaps so precisely the loneliness wasn't described still by anybody. Without wasting words and theatrical dramatic nature. All is short and clear.
All our houses will fill in with water sometime. All of us will drown sometime. We will die, people who remember us will die. All of us will be dissolved in this water. Since this moment, these seconds while you read these lines, we let's live a little bit.
My verdict is a masterpiece. Any descriptions are excessive. This film needs to be seen and experienced.
