  • "A woman who losses her husband is a widow. A man losing his wife is a widower and a child losing his parents is an orphan. But there is no term for a parent losing a child". It is so heartbreaking, and devastating there is no way to describe it. It's a Glee quote I know. But my point is I don't think I would be able to stay in the real world after that. I would have followed that bird into its world and never come back.
  • @NightcoreAngel.
    Trying to say "Good Bye" to your unborn child is the hardest thing to ever forget. A memory that will stay in your heart Forever!
  • To me, the bird helped her be able to find herself again after the miscarriage. The bird symbolizes her unborn child. She tried to prevent the bird from leaving, because of her unwillingness to let go. The bird helped her pick up painting again, which you can tell was a hobby she enjoyed doing. And then towards the end, she is finally able to find herself again, and let's the bird free. She has finally let go, and found herself after she lost herself.
  • @Hellobianquinha
    It looks like a personal experience, it's incredible the amount of feelings that are possible to feel without the character say one word.
  • @jupekai4601
    As a mother who has lost her child during pregnancy more than once, this really hit home.
  • At first I was going to comment ‘I don’t feel too good Mr Stark” but then I got the meaning of the video. And. I’ve never suffered a miscarriage, but my mum had. I have two dead baby siblings. This is heartbreaking.
  • I was not expecting it to be about miscarriage, I don't know anyone who had to go through that. I have no idea how much pain it must be but the sound and the look on her face made what happened so clear and it made my heart hurt! The group that made this short film did an excellent job !
  • This was... one of the most heart-touching things I have ever seen... Made me shed a few tears
  • @annemeownie
    A story of a woman who got miscarriage and is in grief. Took care of a majestic bird who resembles as her lost child (considering it helped remove the paint on the cradle). And the way the woman learned how to let go And then you're going to bring Mr. Stark into this...
  • Oh my god I fucking cried when the bird went through so much effort and almost died just to wipe away the stain that made her sad 😭😭😭
  • @ranfrenenjoyer
    Before she had me, my mom gave birth to a child and named her Grace. Minutes after being born she died due to unknown causes, Grace was a sibling/twin of some other baby we don't know what gender it was yet she suffered a miss carriage to that child and it was so hard on her, she almost tied her tubes so she couldn't have me and my brother (17) would be an only child. Praise the Lord because I was born August 4th :) God bless you all!
  • @charlesmagpili
    My explanation: She suffered a miscarriage, as you can see, the yellow that she painted by her fingers are the egg or zygote the the red line and the orange line are the weeks developing her baby in progress but the can of paint that washed away is a metaphor of her miscarriage. After that she started to paint again ( to move one) she painted her room with the new begining with memories of her baby (with the growing bird). But she decided to let her go instead of painting it with the memory of her baby. Now the woman is looking at the beautiful painting, a beautiful scenery which represents a new beginning. Lesson: There is no such things that are permanent in this world, do not attach on beautiful things, learn to let go because life is moving, we should enjoy the beautiful future coming for us 💕

    STOP TALKING ABOUT MARVEL HERE! THIS CAME OUT OVER A YEAR AGO. ALSO ITS NOT THAT SHE'S DISSOLVING. ITS JUST THE 'MAGIC PAINT' DISSOLVING SINCE IT WAS CUT FROM THE PAINTING AND THE BIRD. THATS WHY ESMA WAS TRYING TO KEEP HIM IN SO HE WOULDNT DISSOLVE TOO. Srry but I need this to be seen by as many ppl as possible so the comment section wont be flooded with the same comments over and over. This is a very very beautiful and emotional video. The artstyle is different than most others but I perosnally like it. It dug up all the emotions I buried when my beloved grandfather died. I really like how theres no language and words needed. Everything is conveyed through music and the video. its not easy to edit characters how they are in your head and how you get them on screen. The mimics are very great also not too much detail or completely barren. everything is there for a purose in the background and makes sense. Thank you CGMeetup for creating this beautiful shortfilm :)
  • @pbj77712
    I watch this over and over and my heart sinks with sorrow thinking about the babies I lost. This perfectly explains what goes on in my heart that nobody knows but the Lord sees my tears everytime I see someone with a new baby. It was so bad for a while that I could not make it through the grocery store without feeling like my heart was stabbed with pain. Thank you to whoever sent this to me. Thank you. It is my heart without words.
  • @syezleen2621
    Letting go is never easy. But once you let go, you'll start to uncover the new side of life you've never seen before.
  • @themad8088
    a sad but beautiful short that reminds, that despite the so painful lost of a child, life continues, and one can get a chance to be happy again anyway, or at least, forget the pain for a instant.
  • @mountainjune
    Lost 2, 20 years ago, and the pain never goes away. I both love and hate this short film. It was beautiful, and I too would have followed the bird. I make my own worlds in my head, so I guess I already did.
