When you discover in venerable short animation the toys of your childhood, difficult to not be seduced. And this short film is just charming, from imaginative solutions to the story itself. A girl, Christmas Eve, new toys and the rejection of old, modest rag doll. But, in the dream of young miss, the rag toy is the star , offering lovely show.

Not original story but source of generous nostalgia.

A 14 years old boy living with his father in fancy house. But the father, always busy , is often in long trips imposed by job. So, lonely, the son isolated him in silence and less sociability.

A school mate , more modest social position , tries, succed become his friend. And the forms of this pretty special friendship are just what the presumed rich boy needs .

Touching, just beautiful crafted, few admirable scenes.

A young man, in public garden, after the death of his grandfather.

Near him, a man in white- covered face, gloves , sun glasses . Their conversation, so familiar conversation between mentor and presumed diciple , a broken watch, a flower without petals being a sort of axis.

Thoughts about life, death and what real matters .

Seduced by old Oriental story air and, no doubts m, by final Emil Cioran quote.
