As a granddaughter I felt this so deeply, I was sobbing as I was watching this. My grandpa passed away in our house last summer, he was one of my friends, my partner in crime, a father figure and he had a faith in me like no one else. He was ready to go for a while but still miss him and I would do anything for one last hug or one last conversation with him. I know he’s looking after me and that gives me comfort.
Sending everyone who’s lost someone much love!!

I was the daughter in this story. I lived it. This made me cry. My dad was the kindest man you could ever meet. I love this.

My grandma has Alzheimer’s and forgot who I was the other day for the first time. Seeing this film reminded me what was most important. Even though she doesn’t remember who she is, or who I am, I treasure all of the memories I have of us together for the both of us.

As the eldest daughter that has reached the age of getting married. I realized there are a lot of moments rarely captured in pictures all along my life. This made me realized why my parents or mostly elders love to take pictures when their loved ones gathered together or simply when the silliest moments occured, because they want to keep the memories and treasure it. Thank you for capturing this message in the most wonderful way. A well-deserved movie indeed.

I almost didn't finish the little movie. I became so emotionally affected. I'm 71 and feeling very vulnerable from time to time. This little story gives me a little hope. ❤️🙏🏼

This made me cry so bad . Not even a single word was spoken but the emotions reached out . Too good :)

''We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen, still''

[Mollyeva]

I cried the whole way through. A beautiful story about the imagination of a child, memories, and so much more. It's amazing how saying so little words can tell such a deep and beautiful story. I loved this, it deserves all the honor it already has and more.

[shymoon]

Crying a lot remembering my grandparents. They play a big role in our lives.

Maybe there should be more shows like this. To help kids learn about their feelings and maybe the adults aswell. Very nice film.

[belommandisejak]

really thank you, for made this heartwarming film, i really appreciate you all work, i like it, i love it. And, i also realized that, its really very bitter when we get fact about life is about waiting. Waiting to grow old and die, but from this movie, i guess life isn't just life, but life it's about getting meaningful life🌷😭😭😭

Grandparents are the worst in the sense that hypothetically and generally speaking, they’ll go before you do. And when you have the good ones it’s quite literally experiencing a person’s presence who had a lifetime to learn to love. Then boom. Gone. This is a cute film though. All the memories we will just have to hold on too, pretty but sad thing to think about.

[horsepower]

This is wonderfully put together. My grandfather has severe Alzheimer's, getting worse every day. He moved in with my parents a while ago, and has since forgotten nearly everyone and everything. It is so hard for everyone involved, and takes so much patience to deal with someone who's memory is gone. This is such a sweet film.

This should be part of essential dementia training! What a beautiful, emotive animation that crosses all languages and goes straight to the heart.
Interesring it shows there is no comfort from news channels - just greyness and more life sapping fear! Bravo being creative!

This brought me to tears. I know we all had loved ones who passed away and it can hurt to sometimes remember that. My grandpa passed away far before his time. He was in a hospital for a quick surgery that shouldn't have caused any problems but he got infected with sepsis and didn't make it. I was a 13 year old depressed kid then and my mom didn't let me see him cause of the state he was in, however I did manage to see him once when he was being rushed into another surgery. I miss him so much, he was such a kind person. I'd visit him so often in my childhood, he and grandma practically raised me along side my parents. He was always a happy guy, before he went into the hospital my mom told him to hang in there and he grabbed a pole and said not to worry he's hanging on in an attempt to make us less worried. Till his last moments he was a positive soul. Nine years have passed since and I'm still touched by videos such as these. I miss him, a lot.

This wonderful animation reminded me immediately of my own father who came to live with me and my family when my mother passed away. He was suffering from early stage dementia and could not live own his own, no matter how much he wanted to. He was sad and depressed after losing his wife of 65 years, as we all were, but he gradually got used to the new experience of another family, along with all that goes with it, and started to enjoy all the attention from everyone, particularly all the grandchildren, and great grandchildren that visited him almost daily. We eventually had to put him into care, but his health was failing, and he passed away at the age of 92 years. Of course we all miss him, but the little boy in this animation reminds me so much of the desolation that the whole family felt at his passing. I am so glad that I watched this, and although it made me sad, it also made feel happy for that little boy, who found a way to remember his grandpa. Well done to all who were involved in the production of this beautiful little film.

this was a well put together short film. It was relatable, easy storyline to understand, and straightforward... I use to work with this population and for the staff members it’s extremely hard to see them transition and pass on but on the other hand for some it’s a blessing. Also, great job on doing your research of this topic. ❤️
