building blocks

A very quiet and warm animated short, similar to the style of "Anna and Bella", there is no language but only a heart-moving music background.

On a calm sea, there are twos and threes of huts like lighthouses, quiet and monotonous.

Every room of the old man's house is built on the roof of the old house, so it seems that this building block hut is the footprint of the old man's life.

The camera flashes through the life of the old man. The process of diving started with a pipe. The old man who only wanted to retrieve the pipe, the moment he dived to the old house to retrieve the pipe, the memory began to flash in front of his eyes, surprise, sadness, and the history of those people and events in the past. In order to find more traces, he continued to dive into the next old house, another one, the next... Each house has a memory that cannot be forgotten in life, as if time stops here, the picture is in memory Switch with reality. As the old man continued to dive, every clip about his family kept replaying, and his life returned to that beautiful starting place as he reached the deepest and original memory cabin under the sea. Everything starts here, sweet love, warm family, painful separation... The

animation ends in the old man's red wine. Different from "Anna and Bella", "Anna and Bella" is more about happy moving, and this "House of Building Blocks" makes people feel a little more sour in their hearts. Every time I see the moving life of the old man, and then jump back to the desolate seabed in front of me, I realize that time can take away not only our youth, but all the evidence of our existence and the meaning of life will be submerged in the seabed. .

The past cannot exist for a long time, even if there are so many memories, it is just waiting for an old morning, with the sweet or bitter red wine in our hands turning in the glass, until it returns to peace.
