A slow paced but increasingly poignant portrait of a man flashing back on his life after his village in France is flooded. It's the odd one out in terms of pacing and visuals, with its delicate hand drawn style, but the short's sweet sentimental surprises leave a lasting impression. (12 minutes, Japan)
