I found this gem yesterday by pure chance and it somehow managed to strike a chord in me with everything - be it the bittersweet story, the captivating art style or the melancholic music.
Turned off the sound effects so you can better appreciate the mellow soundtrack.
This tells a story, both deeply somber and yet somehow relieving, about the slow descent into dementia and towards the merciful release of death of a loved one.
If you can appreciate the morbid romance of bidding farewell for a final time in someone's life, this is for you - because it is both horrible and beautiful at the same time, not being able to be described with mere words.
Without commentary, because it would ruin everything.
