A calf leaves everything it knows, and the song stays gentle the whole way through. The animation doesn't move much, it doesn't need to, because the memories do the work, each one a small goodbye. You watch something die and get reborn as a melody, and by the end you understand that's what the song was always about.

A calf is taken to a new home, and memories of happier times flash by along the way. The short is a music piece set to a 1969 Japanese version of an old Yiddish folk song from 1938, and it was featured on NHK's Minna no Uta. As a single-episode music entry with a slice-of-life feel, it pairs the song with a simple, reflective animated story.
