Just slightly over 10min. A short film about a girl, Mika, and her dog, Marimo. Beautifully shot and made me cry like a damn baby.

Comments

I wanted to mention that some yt commenter pointed out that the last line would be more correctly translated as "I want a dog again", which I think was more the sentiment that was trying to be conveyed (and makes for a much better ending).

That was beautiful. I cried my blouse wet. Don't give up if this doesn't get enough votes. I'm sure the votes are here: people just get put off by long videos. It's wonderful.

upvote for the aparent quality~ I just don't wanna watch it right now because I don't feel like crying...sure I will soon though

Update: okay, I watched it and I love it. Reminds me of my doggie Inca

Beautiful. It usually takes a lot for me to cry, but i blubbered like a baby.
There were a few strange translations... but the sentiment was not really missed. I agree with you maggie, yours is a truer translation.
