Iosef Ivanovici's "Danube Waves" serves as a great soundtrack for this delicately animated story of a young girl who says goodbye to her father before he sets off in a rowing boat and she on her bicycle. Along shaded, tree-lined avenues she goes and the seasons pass; the leaves come and go as does the snow. The sun sets lower not just on the horizon, but on her life as she ages and returns to that spot where she last saw her dad. No longer a waterway, but a sea of sand in which she finds the wreck of a small boat and... I loved the simplicity of this. The linear drawing, the shadow and the shade and so much of it left to our own imagination. We can pretty much put whatever emphasis we want on a story that might be dealing with longing and death - or, maybe not. Certainly worth watching for eight minutes, I'd say.
