Note that she didn't feel comfortable rejoining society using the standard method, so she did it on her terms, using a method she'd crafted herself that was uniquely hers.

I’m not sure the intention of this video but I can see it being related to someone dealing with mental health and trying to shut themselves away from the world. I can relate to this video. I love it

[darda]

I am autistic, and I totally relate to this beautiful film! The imagination, exhilarating feels, breath-taking colors, textures and wonder! My mind is dancing!

[osaiosai]

The reason why I feel more comfortable in isolation is bc I didn’t had humans in my life where I truly feel safe and comfortable around them. It’s like I always need to be careful. Human relationships are something by which I experience most discomfort in my life and I think there are a lot of ppl out there who understand me and think the same

[waffasame]

The music made the events more beautiful, the calm with the clouds & the idea of the movie made it unique. often we need a break from the world so we can live in it and come back to it in our own ways . It touched a part of me that was dozing off & made it wake up.

[elm_tr]

I like how she went back to civilization by herself. That’s how it should be for everyone. Sometimes, you can feel alone, and you need a break. You don’t need to feel pressured to be apart of something if it’s the wrong time. You fan be comfortable again, but that doesn’t mean it’ll happen right away ❤️

[SammMackey]

Apart from the message behing the video, can we talk about how beautiful this character is?? 😍

[ist]

So many people self isolate to avoid dealing with mental stress. Good video, we need more of this.

[Stan]

Changes are sometimes good don't let isolation be all that you know.

As someone who likes spending time alone more than with people this hits home I love socializing with friends and family but I prefer spending time alone I enjoy it I guess I'm an introvert 😂 but change is good if it helps improve your life.

[AmandaJane]

The power of short film. This story is crafted from something bigger than its entirety : understanding.

[Eleivana]

Exquisite texturing. Wish this was a full feature. Beautifully done.

[panhkss]

nos etudients français ont du talent, je ne me lasse jamais des courts metrages d'esma, ils sont tous incroyables <3

[screaminlordbyron]

The fly away hair strands and regular low key breathing really sell the realistic animation. Love it !

[shhhreshthaaa]

how beautifully portrays a message that your comfort zone, the fear off not facing challenges and like yah I am happy in my own world I don't want anyone, can destroy you totally, how universe gave her message to get out of your comfort zone. great work

[bluedeath]

Wow. A real masterpiece. So beautiful, the soundtrack, lighting, animation. The story. It's simply wonderful.

[ogoomajonnwakalo]

oh i just forgot how good and inspirational these videos are love it

[thatsimple_simp]

This is gorgous. The details from of every single strand of hair, to each fluff on the little animal❤ Everything is amazing and so well animated. Especially the falling scene with her hair and skirt flowing in the wind. When I tell you I was SHOCKED by 3:44 when I realized that that’s her, oml- the music fit really well too.

[kirito_online]

Moral of the story, "move on in life, a life of solitude is more cruel than you think, and that there's more to life than just doing one thing forever"
That's my guess

[jaruskaya]

Чудесный фильм, волшебная анимация, увидела себя и пересмотрела еще раз 5. Для меня это про интровертов и высокочувствительных людей.
Общество сильно напрягает, раздражают шумы, громкий хохот, гул нескончаемых разговоров. Хочется скорее сбежвть в свой простой и уютный домик, где так хорошо, спокойно и свободно одной, валяться на облаках, читать, мечтать, печь душистое печенье. Вязать что-нибудь яркое и незамысловатое, вот хотя бы шарф. Конечно, не хочется заканчивать свои дни в полном одиночестве со спицами в руках, но ведь и общество далеко не гарантия, что будет по-другому.
В любом случае, шарфик - это возможность сбежать обратно, домой.

Introverted people don't get in touch with others easily and feel out of place. But what she did every day and her sudden awakening made her realize that she needed to change. The process was not easy and it was hard to adapt. But it takes firm confidence, she did it, and her life will be more colorful in the future.
