- Mos fillo me mua tani. - Jo gotat jashtë, të lutem! - Gëzuar, natën! - Po shkoj në shtëpi. - Mendoj që mirë do bëje. - Po pra, po shkoj, po shkoj, po shkoj... - Më duhet një pesëshe për të ngrënë diçka. - Hej! - Mirë jam. Po shkoj. - Kujdes aty! - Qebap - E mora vesh. Do më vrasësh? - Jo. I vdekur je. - Jam i sigurt që mund ta rregullojmë disi. - Bëjmë gjasme. Dhe t’u thuash që më humbe? - T’i them kujt? - Atyreeee.....oh...Nuk e di. - Po tani? - Ti e ke në dorë. - Ok. - Erdhi koha. - Jo.
Prit. Le të .... - A do që ta flasim njëherë? - Ulemi aty tek stoli përsëri? Bëjmë një muhabet? - Thjesht më duhet më shumë kohë. - Më shumë? - Po. - Jo - Ashtu qoftë. - Jo. Prit. E flasim njëherë, jo. - Mami - Po - Kam lindur. A jam i sigurt? - Patjetër që je. Të kam unë. - Më merr në krahë. Kam dëshirë të shoh qiellin dhe të ndjej motin mbi lëkurë. - Ja. - Mos më lësho. - Nuk do ta bëj. - Dëshiroj të dëgjoj detin dhe të nuhas pyjet e lagësht. - Ja. - Shih milingonat. - Po. - Tani. - Më tre

Our latest film ‘Teacups’, is now live on our channel

@animalfinatic9366

This is such a beautiful animation. Its atmosphere is so strangely heartwarming. The way they portrayed Death is so gentle. This really shows how beautiful life can be, so we should cherish it while it lasts. Thank you for this. Im very troubled right now, but this reminds me of all the beauties we have in this world. So even though things may seem rough, there is always a light within the darkness that surrounds you.

@ihres_

I love how gentle Death is. She's soft spoken and cradles the baby as if taking her own. She's a protector. A guardian. A Mother

@angelrittenburg1641

This one really caught me by surprise. My sister passed a few weeks prior to me viewing this for a class assignment. Really helped me not only deal with losing my sister but also helped me accept mortality in the most profound way I have yet.

@dega5600

Every so often this animation crosses my mind, and I feel the urge to watch it once again

@aneldritchfrogman1966

I like the interpretations of Death not being some creepy and all horrifying skeletor wielding scythe. Where death is merely a person in a robe who knows more then you could ever know and gives but sadly knows that you can’t stay on the earth and must do what they must do.

@jeffersonlam2969

6:30 “Why did we never speak?” “I don’t know” Damn...

@getsuryu7227

he was so hammered that even his ghost was drunk

@Eldebaff

The music, the emotions... that's Ghibli's level at this point! Almost got tears at the end, really well done!

@zerogravy8359

I learnt one thing from watching this,that is humans never stop asking for "more".

@protastudios

This is probably the best short film I've ever watched. I can't process the amount of visual creativity, delicateness, and general love that went into this.

@StrayHumanWizard

I saw this animation as a teenager many years ago. It has stuck with me for so long and been a fundamental piece of media in my long journey of accepting death... It softens my heart everytime I see it

@rizowanahussaini1019

Imagine your last word being 'kebab'...

@redroses0880

I'm confused and very sad with a slight sense of comfort.

@victorgabrielbuena

Beautiful. Just simply beautiful! The way you portrayed death, the immense detail you put into everything, the lighting, the color the music, EVERYTHING, the cinematic value that this holds, the great symbolic meaning, the duality of those meanings, the heartwarming and remarkable way of interpreting abstract concepts, like desire and lust, truly encapsulating us, emotionally captivating and moving us one frame at a time. I especially loved this short film for it's thought provoking visuals, it's shockingly well orchestrated music and it's craftful way of materializing ideas and culture. I thank you very much And Maps and Plans for putting your heart out into this animation -- it is a marvel, a true example of what can happen if you put your mind and heart into something you love.

When I meet death, I want more. I want to see the bottoms of the oceans of this earth, the plains and the forests, the mountains and the cliff-sides. I want to feel the love of my friends, family, and partner(s). I want to feel pain. I want to feel recovery, I want to experience near death and just before life. I want to breathe the airs of polluted wastelands and islands undiscovered, the coldness of caves and the heat of the core. I want to glide through the clouds, through deadly storms and clear skies; witness dusk and dawn from the eyes of the worlds people, feel the happy thoughts and the sad, the angry and calm, the depressed and the elated. I want to know gain; with the consequence(s) of loss because of it. I want to know what the smartest people think; how they gained what they knew/know and teach the next generation. I want to learn how everything works. When I face death, I will want until I feel content with my existence. I will want even if it’s time to go.

@megamoo1232

"Mother. I am born." That cracked me up ngl

@acadia5898

it hits me so hard when: "why did we never speak?" "i don't know". i'm gonna leave this obscured and i won't explain it, figure it out for yourselves, trust me, it's the best feeling when you feel/figure it out on your own. this is phenomenal! thank you!

@Aramanth

I like how Death is sympathetic and give him all the time he needs to see his past and to let go of it... A very breathtaking short film!! 🎭

@mataschmata

This is one of those films that i'll remember for the rest of my life.
