The anime selects Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" symphony as its soundtrack, forming the four interconnected segments of the film based on this composition, each highlighting distinct life qualities conveyed in every part. In the film, Paul Driessen employs "split-screen aesthetics," arranging eight screens into three columns from top to bottom, with each screen depicting events related to the seasons. These seasons are paired with appropriate colors: blue and gray for spring, blue and gray for summer, yellow and gray for autumn, and red and gray for winter. The narrative unfolds through this "split-screen" technique, an animation expression pioneered by Driessen. The imagery in the story is filled with poetry, conveying both the beauty and the helplessness of life.
