Life is a cycle of repetition, and before you know it, you become a prisoner of routine. A lonely man strolls the streets daily with his dog, captivated by a beautiful girl, yet they only ever pass each other by; an old scholar remains engrossed in his books, indifferent to his devoted wife’s attentive care, burying himself further in his studies; a man, rejected in love, attempts to hang himself, only to be saved by the very woman he adores, yet when he confesses his feelings again, he is refused once more; a pair of lovers engage in a secret affair, but are constantly interrupted at the most crucial moments, never able to fully indulge in their passion. These people repeat the same actions every day, experiencing the same pain and disappointment without ever realizing it. When the balance is disrupted, perhaps they may discover a different kind of happiness... This film won the Best Animated Short Film award at the 1995 Berlin International Film Festival.
