Fifteen years of diary entries, begun when the creator was eight years old, form the basis of this short student film. In making it, the animator sought to break free from preconceived ideas about animation and about their own self. Produced in 2021 as a first-year project in the animation department of Tokyo University of the Arts' Graduate School of Film and New Media, the film is a psychological slice-of-life piece rooted in a personal record kept since childhood.
