We believe that information, knowledge, and art should be accessible for all. Behind every story, film, or essay, there are lives and people who gave their time, effort and resources to share with you ideas and quests. Texts and images are sold for money in the form of journals, books, DVDs, etc. and it is considered legitimate. We invested much of ourselves into this site and hope that it resonated with you. If you enjoyed reading our work, if it brought you something, inspired, enlightened or helped clarify things for you, please, show your appreciation by supporting it.
I love this Russian short film despite it being categorized as a propagandistic one of the ex Soviet Union. Its Japanese based story is so cute and lovely that at the end I felt like crying and shedding some tears with those old couple over the crane’s leaving them behind and flying away :’-(
Btw, I watched this for the first time on the Iranian channel some 20 or so years ago when I was a little kid! *sigh* those were the days ^_^
