As a young boy he used to run in the wind, chasing leaves and imagining the patterns they made in the sky. As a man he braces himself against the wind to get through it and hates the chaos it causes with his paper. Now in his old age he walks across the park in the wind again.
This animation quickly charts a man's life from childhood to the grave, seamlessly blending the stages together and commenting on them via his view of the leaves in the wind. It doesn't quite all hang together as commentary on the lifecycle but it does enough to be quite touching and engaging all the same. There is a lot of feeling in the animated characters and they work well within the imaginative and flowing motion of the leaves in the wind. The animation is impressive and it compliments the sentiment of the material really well to produce a short animation that is as simple as it is pleasing and worth seeing if you get the chance.
