This one works on you the way a long silence in a classroom works on you. It's the transfer kid's exact horror: her dad's job drops her in the country, the local kids close ranks without ever being cruel about it, and the boy she actually wants to talk to becomes the one person she can't risk approaching. The film sits in that stalemate instead of fixing it, then lets a real wind god walk into the middle of a story that had no business having one. Low on spectacle by design, so the weight lands on empty schoolyards, held breath, and a girl privately deciding she hates it here. It runs short and it knows it, a fairy tale that leaves before you're ready. If you've ever been the new one nobody talked to, the ending stings in a very specific place.

A girl moves from the city to attend a country school because of her father's job, and her new classmates keep their distance. She would like to know one boy better, but she worries about how he might treat her, so she holds back. Growing to hate rural life, she longs to go back to the city, until she meets a genuine god of wind. The short fantasy film is a fleeting fairy tale about the fears, kindness and love of children. It was made as one of four Anime Tamago 2016 training projects for young animators.
