I think the concept of this movie is if you want to watch spring in your life than you should face darkness before light and you should fight with that darkness.I think before ease God send hardship toward us when we face that darkness that give us strength and bravery this darkness is also blessing becuse it hold great reward like in this animation winter hold water in the form of ice and when that darkness gone that ice bloom flowers (blessings) in the form of water.

I like the concept of Earth Mother being a shepherd in moving the seasons. Beautiful

[clara.mindss]

Her family has been doing that for decades!

I understood this story to mean we are connected with everyone and everything, we all have role to play. I didn't see the tree cloud creatures as scary or harmful at all; they and the girl -- and the dog -- treasured the ritual and the much needed "crystal" they willingly gave her before she led them ceremoniously to their migration route. I adore this wee film !!

The young maiden's beauty is so enchanting, her gaze imbued with unwavering resolve, and her spirit as resilient as the ever-renewing spring.
