This is an animated short film about life and growth, with the story divided into three main threads: flowers, humans, and butterflies.

 

People often explore the meaning of life, despite life going through stages of birth, aging, illness, and death. Interestingly, we often find ourselves lost along the way. Do other beings in nature experience similar confusion, and what is the value of being human?

 

The entire animation unfolds calmly accompanied by Olaf’s gentle music, and even in the climax, it only touches upon the surface, filled with a restrained sense of beauty.

 

The subtle morphological changes in feline creatures seem to possess a captivating magic, be it in motion or at rest.

 

This animated short film focuses on the diverse postural transformations of cats during various time intervals, offering a non-systematic induction of geometric forms.
