    I interpret this as a coming out story: the girl shown likes women and she feels she needs to hide this. I like this big colorful circus as the metaphor, full of a lively and happy community. I take it as the girl eventually just letting it out, coming out to her family because she can't hide herself anymore.....only to be rejected by her family. And while it hurts, she realizes that this is who she is and finally embraces it fully. I like how her dad ( think) turns back to see his child happy, accepting herself. Maybe he will too.

      Very much so, considering she's horrified at the male figurine holding her hand. Her father is a bigot but its implied he means well

      @@Carlos-bz5oo i wouldn't go as far as calling her father a bigot. the way he is shown to hide away in his perfect little world he's bulding, the way he clings to it - he's not comfortable without his perfectly stable world of pure conformity, where everything works the way he builds it to be. He doesn't try to hurt the creatures, he just hides them away to try and forget them and when, what i assume to be the grandma, starts attacking the creatures, she also destroys his perfect little world as he just hides in fear. The grandma is also the one signalling him to get out of the tent, which he reluctantly does, not before noticing how beautiful his daughter "looks" (feels), embracing her true self. I think he was raised in a very conservative household and he seems to be a very timid person, he clearly has no ill will but is also to scared to go against the beliefs and ideals he was raised with and just hides away in his pretend-perfect world to avoid having to stand up for his own thoughts.

      I think the father made an assumption with the male figure, and his daughter is afraid of disturbing his world. When the truth does escape into his world, she knocks over one of the buildings in his world trying to catch it, but she immediately grabs the building and sets it upright again.
      When the father puts the truth in the drawer and at other times, I think he was scared of the grandmother. I think he was trying to help his daughter keep her secret. Note that when the grandmother starts attacking the truth, she-unlike the daughter-does massive damage to the father's world.
      In the end, the father is unwilling to stand up to the grandmother, but he's also a victim. A good display of how intergenerational trauma works.

    I like the extensive difference between her father and her grandma.
    Her father is fascinated but chose to hold onto his beliefs and shut them down.
    While her grandma immediately tries to whack the acrobats off like they're some pests.
    And when the daughter shows her circus, her grandma immediately wants to leave, followed by the hesitant father.
    However, he looked back... He saw how happy his kid is...

  • @Dahcowboy
    @Dahcowboy 2 місяці тому +143

    What I appreciate about this short is its ending. I find it interesting that the family members (well, the mother at least) REJECTED the daughter’s sexuality instead of accepting. In a way, it felt real, since there are families out there that cuts contact with their LGBT child.
    The ending maybe a bit sad, but it almost felt bittersweet in a way . The daughter can finally live for who she is instead of hiding it. And hey, judging by the father’s look at the end, maybe someday, he’ll finally accept his daughter who she is.
    Underrated and beautiful short. It deserves more views than it already has.

    I love the choice of representing her queerness by little colourfull acrobats. It's beautiful and unique. Her inner world seems so joyful and shameless, they're all hanging out, playing and kissing, it's super cute. It's like they're showing how free she wants to be, and she's embarrassed by it when they show that to her family. Her grandma can't accept so much unique beauty, but when her father sees it truly in the end, we can guess he'll maybe accept his daugther as who she really is. Amazing short as always, congrats to the team 🫶🏳️‍🌈💙

    Absolutely gorgeous animation, stunning effects, colours and music. And I just adore all the queer symbolism! It's bittersweet, but beautiful. Of all the shorts that have come out this year, this was the first one to make me tear up on the first watch. So happy for the hopeful note at the end- where the father looks back and sees how happy his daughter is. There's hope there for him; he finally sees her for who she truly is- to see her in her prime, at her happiest, where she accepts herself and loves herself- and he could be a part of that life, too, should he embrace it. It's just so beautiful!! My favourite film thus far.

    I loved the representation of the “traditional” “”old”” world that the little trains and crafted “perfect” town showcase, and how her little colourful shameless acrobats quite literally defy gravity (defy traditional society beliefs). Also how she desperately tries to hide it but when she finally embraces it she protects it and fully enjoys it 😭❤️‍🩹

    It's supposed to be good when the girl is accepted and not judged by disgust ethics for her desire for feminine people, but if a man really really loves her then his love is unacceptable and vomit-worthy even if he's only being coerced into traditional gender expression like anyone else would have been.
