One morning, a man with a bunch of papers is waiting for a train to go to the office. Suddenly, a sheet of paper is blown off by a strong wind. It flies to a pretty woman and clings to her face. At his office, he has another chance to find her. He stops working and tries to contact her by paper planes. He tries again and again, and finally the last paper with her lipstick mark flies to
I like his character because he works as an adult, but his challenge looks like that of a young boy. He can express his feelings openly. For example, he surprises like a child when he finds her by chance. And he remembers her smile and can't stop himself acting as a child. Even his serious expression looks funny. It is a black-and-white film basically, but red and white are used effectively. First, a red lipsticks mark is a symbol of his love. Second, many non-descriptive sheets of white paper attract us. The animation of sheets flapping, dancing and spinning in the wind is really beautiful. And it matches the mood of the music. It is perfected as art.
