A body that won't cooperate with what you want to do with your day. Depression isn't a villain in this film, it's the weight of existing in a meat suit that doesn't listen. The animation stays still so you feel that stillness, that argument between wanting to move and being too heavy to try. This is what graduate school loneliness looks like when nobody's watching. It costs nothing to watch and everything to recognize yourself in it.
A short animated film told from the inside of a body prone to lethargy. The speaker finds it hard to bring their inner, metaphysical self into harmony with their physical one, and the film centers on that uneasy relationship between mind and flesh. It was made as a 2024 graduate project in the animation department of the film and new media graduate school at Tokyo University of the Arts.
