Introduction
A lone house stands amidst a barren landscape. Here lives a petite pigtailed girl, unfettered by her loneliness. There is rarely anyone for her to meet and interact with, save for the occasional masked visitors from a place unknown. Her only company is the inanimate objects present around her. They tell tales about themselves, the girl, and the unchanging surroundings they view day in and day out—all the while, she remains oblivious to their sentience.
One day, the monotony is broken when the girl meets someone who offers her a choice capable of altering many fates, including her own.

I think it's worth a watch. I think it compares favorably to some animes with similar atmospheres like Kino no Tabi and Dairy of Tortov Riddle.
Peace out and remember you're more than an object!

There is not much to say about this 30-minute short film without mentioning spoilers. It has a melancholic and heartwarming atmosphere to it and an unconventional narrative style. It leaves us with an interesting end that is sure to make the viewers ponder about the film.
