A stone-headed baby born into a frog home. The premise sits there, almost absurd, until you realize it's asking you to care about something fundamentally foreign anyway. Ryouichi Yokoyama builds a quiet world where the oddness isn't a joke or a problem to solve, just a fact of life that demands patience and gentleness. The restraint is the whole thing. Nobody screams or explains. The frogs simply accept, and you do too.

A strange infant is born into a frog family, and for reasons no one can explain, the baby's head is hard and as heavy as a rock. Ryouichi Yokoyama made this brief fantasy film around that odd premise. The production is reported to be the first Japanese animated work shot on 35mm film.
