A beautifully made film (even though it is, in the end, a sad story) about the importance of respecting the boundaries of those you love. Well, and about the physics of water too, I suppose.

A sad yet beautiful story; its ending reminds me of Milovitsa from Belarus. It truly is a masterpiece of Ukrayinian animation.

The sky has been intertwined with humanity since the dawn of history, so it inherently contains many of humanity's irrational aspirations. Each individual tries to send a few dreams, from small to large, into the sky, so the sky and its objects often reflect something in the human psyche. Even I, in any situation, try to photograph the sky, especially the cumulus clouds, as a way to relieve my soul. Each person, depending on their circumstances, easily associates the image of clouds with something they know from their life, but ultimately, it's just imagination; however, that imagination helps to uplift the soul. This story is great because it accurately portrays the psychological development of teenagers through the imagery of clouds. And you, what do you usually think about when you look at clouds?

Really a lovely tale!

The bell reminded me of a cursorily similar motif in the ending of "Lu Ling" (鹿铃, 'Deer Bell').

In that Chinese film, of course, the protagonist lets her new friend go and is left with a sweet memory instead of a bitter one.
