This story is amazing. Not only its plot or scenario but also the depictions are fantastic even though my eyes are sometimes dazzled because I am confused about which is the real floor and ceiling.How an old woman and an old man interact with the house as opposed to each other definitely attracts us. I like the change of their relationship, especially, because it was very emotionally deep and thought-provoking.I've never seen such a strange and wonderful animation style. It breaks the original animation technique!I hadn't been able to understand what the title means until the end of the story. I really respect the filmmaker's creativity.

I think that in this film there are interesting points. First, in this film, not picture but dolls are used and I felt warmth. In spite of dolls, feelings are expressed greatly and I can get into this film. I think that because of dolls, we can understand a view of the world of this film. Second, there is no dialogue in this film, so I thought this film makes us think many things, for example,how situation do they have, what do they talk and so on, Also, I think it seems to be difficult to make a film without dialogue, but I wonder that we can give people more impression. Third, I think that a picture and ballet shoes are important because a husband and wife become to change through picture and ballet shoes. I wonder that important things change people even if they are is not good situation. I was impressed by this movie.

An old loveless married couple lives in a same house separately upside down. One day, by accident he finds a pair of worn out ballet shoes of his wife which remind him of their shining marriage days. Then, he makes a decision to repair them and though he tries to give them to her, he misses the opportunity. However, she finds the repaired shoes…Seemingly this old couple's relationship is an awkward tension. But in my opinion, on close inspection, they constantly care about each other somewhere in their heart because they have a wedding ring in a middle finger and have a fight over whether their marriage photo should be straightened up in which way. These things would not happen if they didn't love at each other. At first, soon after watching this film, I slightly felt dizzy since everything is upside down. But, the end of this film is incredibly touching and the strange dizziness will be blown away completely.

I won't say much about the details of the short, because it should be seen fresh.But without giving too much away, the story is an inventive exploration of the relationship between a husband and wife who have grown apart.This short does what it should do, which is tell a story that isn't boring. And it does it far better than the other Oscar-nominated animated shorts this year. It's no contest.Although it's a different style, if you liked Pete Docter's Up from 2009, you'll like this. The setting is similarly absurd, floating (sort of) is involved, and it's about long love.
