To People here saying that it was pointless to water a stick.. It was also pointless to give the girl the water because she had no chance of surviving a fever in a desert. But humans live on hope.
Thank you for saying it. man :)
Omg i never saw it that way... you’re right tho
And it wasn´t pointless. That stick didn´t grow in the desert. But - just like his daughter - it grew in the afterlife, where it marked the meeting point for his daughter to wait and for him to find her. Or at least that may have been his final thought, instead of: "This is too much sand.".
You have a point. However, the stick had no chance to surviving, but so the girl.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
I think the reason his daughter is more grown up than the time she died is because of all the times he watered the tree for her
It's a nice idea 💕
😭
i al sobbing
AWHH😭💧
when she died look at his hair he wasn’t that old but now he’s like a grandpa that’s why she aged
You know, what if the stick was where he buried his daughter too?
hrpang that just turned the whole story upside down 😂😂
True
I wish you could post pictures on here, because I did a painting of a mountain that caught fire locally, and in the painting everything is burnt and black and smoking from after the fire, but if you look on the reflection of the water everything is still alive and in full bloom
@@sheltonmaytheforcebewithyo5265 Could you paste a lik to it though? Maybe on an online portfolio, sales website, social media or wherever you published it (if anywhere)?
@@sheltonmaytheforcebewithyo5265 I paint too and would be very interested to see this idea
This is... The Most heartbreaking... Yet sweetest short story animation I've ever seen.
10/10.
∞/∞ dude...! ^^
1/10
Because the girl died 😭😭😭😭😭
YES!!
the old man is good at calculation , imagine precisely predicted where water drops relative to the air
yeah exactly i was also thinking that
Quick physics
or it might have been just experience of having earlier put it at a wrong place..😁
he been doing it for many years, probably became second nature for him
Nope, that's not him. It's all about the wind pressure pushes back the bottle so that the bottle aren't exactly to the bottom of the water source
It doesn’t matter if the stick grew into a tree or not, it was the gesture and love that mattered most
Umm... yes it did matter. That’s why the title is called “tree” because the old man kept on watering the stick, it wasn’t growing because the tree in the afterlife was the stick that the old man was watering. The more good you do on earth, the same thing you get in the afterlife.
@@dumplingexplorer5034 wait you believe in afterlife??? What's your religion?
Buy the way I'm not making fun of you, i felt it looked that way but I'm not
abood tube396 I don’t wanna expose my beliefs as it may cause a controversial conflict. I just explained my perspective of the video. What i was trying to say is that no matter what dangers may try to destroy you, believing or faith can make you strong, and will give you good. If you believe that one day you wanna become an actor, you would have the passion to help you get there. But if you don’t believe you will become an actor, then you will most likely fail.
Clearest explanation I've heard yet. Although love does play a major role in understanding .
Like my dad always said, the lengths a Dad will go for his baby girl.❤
This might be me, but I had a feeling that yes- this short film could be perceived as how hard loved ones work to make you happy, and how selfless they can be, but I also had the impression of it being about failure as well. That no matter how hard you work at something, no matter how much soul and blood and sweat you pour into it, if the "soil" isn't furtile, nothing will grow. This can also be applied to the girl. The Father was trying his very best to keep her from dying, but she needs more than just water. Realistically, she needs medicine, food, and a safe place to live. The tree needs more than just water. It needs an environment that's capable of letting things grow. There's how you intend and hope things to be, and what they actually are. The Father's intentions was nothing but good, but his hard work didn't go anywhere. This isn't because he didn't work hard enough, rather that where he was is impossible to work in.
;(
But In the video, in the afterlife he saw his daughter drawing and they hugged, and the fully grown tree turned out to be the dead stick irl.
But he still died in the end.
Wait, now that you mention it, what food did the man eat to survive?
@@boaoar179 😂just water but its nonsense its just an animation right ?
Me: Lol his eyebrows look funny
Me 6 mins later: *NO YOU CRYING*
Don't accuse me of such crimes!!!

F.. same
My 5yo and I watched Kitbull and he asked me for something cute and this was one of the next recommended so we watched it and now I'm just. Damn it.
Main Character: is happy
Every author ever: What is the worst case scenario I can put them through?
Same author: And what can I do to keep them in misery till they die so I can end it happily.
And sometimes that author is God🙃
Hard times serve a purpose to test one's faith, we must try to be like the man and have faith til the end
@@Hope-et8fc that should be an actual quote
A quote from an amazing author I met “You gotta put your character in a tree, then throw rocks at them. Climb that tree and throw acorns and rocks until they do something about it.” (That is exactly what he said xd)
This short film is about loss. This short film is about grief. This short film is about how no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you love someone, sometimes you just lose them. Sometimes people just die. But that doesn’t mean that you stop loving them. You keep loving that person, even though they’re dead, and you’ll love them until the day *you* die because life is unjust that way. Some people might say that that’s a depressing message. To those people I say “This message is not for you.”
The tree grew in afterlife though? I'd say it's about faith/hope
Хорошо сказано, добрые люди!🍀
so true
Yeah its not for me, too depressing. Ill love them for ever and if you think your lige end when you die the first time, you are very depressing
Man... I gotta agree, this message is not for me. I prefer to love who I lost AND not to "honor them" by killing myself
He reminds me of my Dad. Whatever he loved, he gave everything he had for. God rest his soul in peace....
انت عربي ؟
Amın ınsallah
peace and blessings for his soul in heaven
i’m not crying, i’m just moisturizing my eyes
it’s a skill
I thought that i was the only one with that skill !!!
excessively moisturizing your eyes
*finger guns*
Ill have you know i dedicated a whole 10 points into that skill tree.
That's nothing! I'm moisturizing my eyes AND nose!
I'm just desalinizing my face, it helps my blood pressure.
The fact it lasted so long against the storm makes me think the stick was growing roots
I love that, even though we didn’t see the tree grow over the years that the man watered it, the fact that it could withstand the storm meant that it had grown roots that were deep and strong and that is a powerful message
I lost my grandfather almost 2 years ago now, and I’m still battling with the intense grief and loss that that entails. He was such an instrumental person in my childhood, and unlike my other grandparents, whose flaws become more and more apparent every passing year, he was just a genuinely good guy. He was old, and we all knew he didn’t have much time left, but the news still came as a shock and a tragedy. I think that part of why the pain of loss is so intense is that it always feels like it happens too soon, like you should have had more time, even if that sentiment isn’t really reasonable.
This short encapsulates that in such a visceral, raw way. Every time I need to cry, *really* cry, I go here. Thank you for this. Thank you so much.
God bless you and your family
Some Guy in the Desert: *loves his daughter*

Sad but makes sense
@@alicelu5691 HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
This may or may not be the idea behind the animation, but I have a thought. Perhaps the tree in the little girl's afterlife was only growing and blooming *because* the man kept the watering the "tree". It reminds me of the Pixar movie Coco, where as long as we remember someone, they're spirit literally lives on, but this adds a step to it by creating a bigger more beautiful afterlife for the departed by doing little things to remember them by.
Exactly.
holly grace That's a very intriguing perspective and I really like it
I havent seen Coco yet
Without water, the only thing left Is faith... (... that there will be a better life after death...)
I mean, in the día de muertos tradition, we usually do many things just for that reason, to remember them, I don't know how "ofrendas" translate to English , but in these ones, we put things that the people in the afterlife liked when they were alive, we put decorations, candlelights, etc. It's not just remember.
SHORT FILMS NOT GONNA GET ME THIS TIME.
Edit: dammit.
yeah
A perfect example of "show, don't tell". This is a true emotional story that touches your heart without a single word and in less than 6 minutes.
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING.
NO,YOU'RE CRYING ;-;
WHAT? CRY? NO, U

WELL YOU'RE NOT WRONG

We are both crying
This gives me hope, that someday I will see my son again.

You will

Well thats depressing but good for you
I'm not crying, my eyes is just hydrating
There is a certain kind of pain things like this give me. The love between a parent and their child is beautiful
The old man must be ripped from all this work out.
LOLLLLL, I assure you, he's ripped ;D

Amen
so he died and met his daughter in the afterlife?
@@031doolittle Yes. That is my hope.
Yup, and the stick he watered is what made the tree grow in heaven
@@maryb4493 Matthew 18:18 ""Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
@@Endlesslove29 meaning what, in the context of this clip in particular?
krshna77 like Theodor before me said
In the end, the sand dune holding the stick was the one which also covered the father during the sand storm. So basically it was the father holding the stick, who died, captured in sand. This idea gave me goosebumps. I became so emotional at the end of the video. Hats off to the story ❤
His body, the hill, the house were the same shape. I love how cohesive it makes this world look. This is just greatly executed.
This 6 min video has mote character development than many films of more of an hour
Most of the movies I watch have more character development than just
-daughter ill and likes trees
-dad hard working because loves daughter
@@SomeOne-eo7rw well if you put it that way even some of the most character developmental movies and films would look dumb it’s about execution a character might develop a lot but if the execution isn’t right it’s not gonna be good i think what he meant was the execution was a lot better than many movies and i’d say it is because it does what a lot of movies dont,build up think about it in a movie lets say a action movie when someone immediately gets game ended during the start you wont feel anything because you didnt know anything about the character or had any attachments to itbut this movie does do that it slowly shows what happened which is why i think it’s a great film
@@SomeOne-eo7rw it’s not that simple, at least to me
he waters the stick every day and his daughter grown up too
How?
As soon as she coughed, my heart broke. What a wonderful story that brought me to tears. So wholesome and reminds me to be thankful for who I have now.
I think the great thing about this one is that regardless of the simplicity of the story -- every step of the way is predictable, with every introduced story element you know where its going -- it's still easy to enjoy and be invested in the story simply due to how well and how efficiently it's told. The consistency with the shapes in the world, and the graphical shot compositions are also just lovely. Overall it's just a seamlessly tied together package. Everything about is just efficient and beautiful.
I didn't see what was coming at all!!
Simple but brilliant!
such a powerful animation, made me cry at 6 in the morning.
It makes me cum at 5 o'clock
@@Nancygertu oh shit

Yep exact same story for me

What a great film. Amazing how this animation provokes meaningful emotions with such simple characters and a simple story in a very short amount of time. I've watched countless live-action movies with much more time and budget to work with by comparison, but these bigger films can't manage to create characters or stories anyone actually cares about on the same level that this small animated short did. I also love that this was done using 2D. Still would have been great as 3D rendered, but the 2D art and animation gave it more charm in my opinion.
For anyone still watching in 2020, the theme is love keeps an individual together even in tough situations. This is because the old man worked those hard hours pumping water for his girl, and also continued life after his girl died, he kept it together and kept growing that tree.
OR
The theme is love creates an unbreakable bond even in tough situations. Basically for the same reasons.
This short is really heartbreaking. That's all I wanted to say the short is really good. You guys did a really great job on this.
My favorite story. My dream would become animator and be able to tell stories that make people feel like they are not alone. Humans are simple creatures, we just need promises of hope and love to fill the void of our existence... We all cry and smile the same way.
Animated movies protected me so much from boredom and violence during my childhood. I feel like I was alive through my favorite characters. Even if I'm not able to realize my dream, I hope good people will keep telling great stories like this one. The ones that teach how to love to those who feel lonely. 💕
Follow your dreams! Nothing is impossible! There are a few exceptions but no worries.
Btw why does this have only 35 likes? You should get more! I'll help!
I hope you'll be great animator 👍 :)
Very beautiful 😃
The ending was my favourite, as the father passed on to his daughter with the tree in the afterlife, and that is the lesson of watering the tree and enduring life's troubles.
Cette animation est la plus émouvante de toute ma vie ce qui rends la fin heureuse c'est que quand le vielle homme mort il rencontre sa fille au paradis et ils sont Unis pour l'éternité... Bravo.
I showed this to my cousin and afterwards he straight up went
"Just plant the stick under the tap thing-"
Edit: stop liking my comment or my cousin will keep rubbing it in my face
Lol I didn't even think of that but I think he put it there because that's were he buried her
trueee lol
Still depressed by this comment made me cry less
Your cousin is going to places

This is a heartwarming tale of a father keeping his daughter's memory alive - I highly recommend this video to anyone that wants to have a good cry.
Грустная история. В ней столько тоски. Отец до самой смерти ухаживал за этим деревом, которое выдержало песчанную бурю, и наконец-то обрел покой, став счастливым.
Just a beautiful reminder of how beautiful life is and how important it is to value the limited times we have with our loved ones
Starting to cry halfway through the film, during the lunch break : check.

Прекрасная вещь. Говорит о том,что даже если в "реальности" что то не материально,но на другом "слое реальности " твой вклад ощутим. Как минимум в первую очередь для тебя.
Как любовь к другому человеку,например каждый день обнимать его. От того,что ты его обнимаешь,он не за цветёт цветами,но каждый день у него будет все больше цветов в душе от любви,которую ему дают. А он будет распространять её дальше.
it's as if the old man also watered my eyes. This whole story just left me in tears.
Some kid: IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE
Me: ....
Me: YOU ARE SO RIGHT
God dammit kiddo.
Don't make it obvious that you're right.
yes this is a life story
OK, I've watched this short countless times whenever it shows in my recommended videos list. I still end up crying.
This metaphor describes my situation with my dad right now, thank you and this makes me sad
Why these short animations are always so sad and depressing..
Theyre french
Fuc I dropped My Spaghetti lol your surname iiii
Just like our lives. Short, sad and depressing
I think what happened is that. Yeah the daughter is dead as well as the tree. Butt the promise he made for his daughter to keep watering the tree even though its dead. Butt in the after life while he keeps on watering the tree as he gets old he still waters the tree and it grows. Probably the spirit of his daughter saw the tree growing and she just sat there cuz she remembered that her father is still watering the tree. So she waited then when the sand storm arived and took the life or her father. The father also has entered the after life and saw the tree and his daughter grown up.
Thats just my toughts :)
Do you know what a butt is?
Hehehe
Butt
The piont in thus short is that without water, the only thing left Is faith... (... that there will be a better life after death...)
@@AlexanderSchwend i dont think that its about the water... maybe how his actions in life affected his daughters after life?(idk though, i just dont think that the point of the short is about water)
your 'butt' is distracting me
My own interpretation of this short film was that it tells us that it's better to try, to at least have something to hold on to. It's not pointless to hope for the stick to grow and become a tree, what's pointless is not trying. In real life, we tend to judge the outcome, even before we start to do it. We often jump into conclusions. We scare ourselves that's why we are afraid to try doing it. We tend to say to ourselves that "Nothing will happen, it's pointless". It seemed like he watered the stick in his world (nothing happened) and didn't grow but turned to a healthy tree in the place where his daughter is. Btw, anyone watching this during the pandemic ?
At the end, the tree was the symbol of reunion between the father and his kid. Because the Love is beyond the space, life, and hardship
Shiiit man!
Why you gotta make me cry?
Very well done.

I miss my dad so much. Everynight he would massage this liquid herb tonik, ordered by my favorite pediatrician, everytime I was in horrible pain. I was in early elementary. My Dad would try to stay up to see if I was fine. This is my interpretation. Out of nowhere, I have the same aches all over my body and feel a feverish. I'll just ride it out. My mom has her kualities,too. My dad R. I P. I still have my Mom. I'm sorry I it's inkoherent, my hands ache. 💖
🙏🙏🙏
My dad would always do the same to me. I lost him nearly 3 years ago.
God bless you.
I miss my dad too😢♥️🌷🌷🌷
Miss my father too, he passed away in cancer some 10-11 years ago, when i was 12-13.
Miss him dearly, but life moves on no matter if you want it to or not.
Stay strong and know that your father will always be with you and one day you'll meet him again, just how i'll meet mine again.
heart touching...green tree with leaves was happiness and a hope for poor sick girl...when the tree's reality unfolded on girl she broke and finished....Again hope stimulated the dejected father due to his love for his daughter , to give his daughter that lush green tree in heaven and to make her smile in heaven , he carried on his exercise and efforts to nuture the dried stick with selfless feelings and at last he achieved for what he was struggling hard.
That was cute and sad... I like that girl, the way how she comes to her dad for a hug is the most adorable. ❤ The characters and their house reminds me of "LISA: the painful" 😊 I love it.
'I'm oke'
**scrolls through the comment section**
'Now I'm sad'
It's not often you get a soundtrack all on the bass clarinet love it. Also how the tree stopped growing because she did too really simple but powerful
Sarah Oakes I agree, but the tree never grew.... at least the guy was happy in the end.
A father is really a steal man who used to hide his wound so that their children can be happy by full filling their wants and desires wheather it seems a quixotic one impossible one as shown in this clip 🌱planting a 🌲🌳🌴 in desert. This has made me a little overwhelmed thanks🙏
Ну почему так, я такой человек который вообще не плачет и ни на кого не обижается, но меня разрывают такие мультфильмы, боже что этоооо
SubhanAllah, this really is so heart touching! After I saw, I felt a deeper love for my father, and I thought about how hard our parents work for us. Parents are such a blessing that they would die for you if it meant your survival. Those of us who have parents, guys, I think it's time we show them how much they mean to us. One day, we (creations of God) are all meant to die, but those who do good in this life will in Sha Allah be rewarded.
Authors and animators, what an amazing story and moral you've shown us all! Thank you so so much for this! I needed it!
May Allah Almighty bless you all and guide us to the straight path, and make us all amongst those who show our utmost respect to our parents, Amen!
Iman Khan ~Ahhh, so touching... just wondering... how many 12 year old brides you have and the number of first cousins in your ancestral line?
PS I know, I know, the truth is sometimes painful... but it's still the truth. 🤷🏻♂️
@@jefflindeman you are a piece of shit
Jeff Lindeman Who told you that your culture is the only one that matters?
FrostyRPGT It's disturbing that instead of denying those things you seem to be labelling them as culture. Also, hating on someone's culture doesn't equate to thinking it doesn't matter.
@@TheRABIDdude in Europe people got married in their early teens even into the early 20th century. Gypsies still do. As for first cousins, Royal and noble families around the world are all tightly related. Do read your Pride and Prejudice. Stuff like this happened throughout our history.
The Muslims are just more Conservative, and keep doing those things, while we apparently stopped. That's all.
I know every time the Gobelins team uploads a piece, it's going to be stunning. The technical work and skill put into each work is nothing less than jaw dropping in every instance. But there's always the story to take into account. Sometimes, it's short and cute and fun, and then you get shorts like this. The ones that, while simple and wordless, speak volumes of not only the people behind the work, but the human condition. What we do as human beings and what our actions make of us, and how not every happy ending is happy in the way we hope.
I cried watching this. I cried hard. But it was a good kind of crying. And I feel better for having done so.
Because despite everything, he got to see her again, and they're happy together now. And that's what really matters.
Out side see i fell nothing but inside grew the hate and sadness im fell good becaues the father meet her but when he die that dream to make that tree grow is possie (note:my english still not good in this part) and the rage part i blame the human who did this and somehow my mind fill with thing that make me want to destroy this world and make the human gone even me it seft
It's a very sad short, because what tries to show is the future we ar allowing to happen. The point of it is that without water, the only thing left Is faith... (... that there will be a better life after death...)
This man is a true father. Not only did he give most of his water to his daughter, he even got her a false tree just to give her hope in the end. Even after her death, he spends his last days giving water to a stick. And, he even tries to save this false tree. I don’t know how he’s been able to service that long, but that just shows his dedication to his daughters wish and dream. 10/10
I love these kind of animations. No words
In a bit of a macabre twist, perhaps the old man's body will be able to provide enough sustenance for the tree to grow. Or maybe it's just a stick. Either way, I love this animation.
JustTooEasy98 some trees have the ability to grow from their sticks
I like the way you think
THIS MADE ME SO SAD! He does all this for the stick (it didn’t even grow) and barely anything for himself! Take better care of yourself man. Also I felt a bit happy when he saw his daughter at the end
Somehow that give him a purpose.
"The stick" HAHAHAHA
I like how u just destroyed his + his daughter's dream and the title of this video 😂
You didn`t get it
Jade Raine he knew it wouldn’t grow a tree...that’s why he tied cloth to the limbs to make leaves. His actions were more in remembrance of his daughter who initially water the “tree”.
Jade Raine he knew it wouldn’t grow... it was just a legacy for his daughter. If you can’t interpret basic things then don’t watch animation videos with deeper meanings.
I can't believe how hard I'm crying. This short touches a lot of notes within me I can't possibly explain.
I know I'm late, but just wanted to say that this is the best animated short film I have ever seen, and I love it, so much power and depth in just six minutes... I love it, thanks for making it and looking forward to see more of this.❤💯
Ce court-métrage est d'une beauté ! L'amour du père pour sa fille est si puissant, c'est un des meilleurs court-métrages que j'ai jamais vu, vraiment c'est magnifique !!
That made me cry, that was so beautiful it really didn't even need a single word ❤️❤️❤️😭
what a beautiful short film! Thank you so much for making it !!
Its amazing how emotional this makes me. I first saw this about a year ago and coming back it still sneaks up on you
At the end, he is with his daughter again...oh, how she waited patiently to meet her father again!

Beautiful.. I'm speechless . I feel so bad that I didn't knew about this channel earlier . All the short films are amazing . I just cannot appreciate enough the amazing work that they are putting up infront of us audience . I absolutely am in love with this channel . All of the works are just awesome . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aw man... That's the first time I'm not only crying but balling in front of an animation
Simply gut-wrenchingly beautiful.
He's in the heaven now with his daughter 😭💖💖💖
Absolutely beautiful, the love a father has for his daughter❤️
Thanks, I'm crying now.
Beautiful work, well done.
Did anyone notice in the final shot the stick poking out of the lump of sand was actually the mans body under the sand?
This films is so amazing, love the final cut from the scene of heaven back to the desert. It left you kind of jarred and forces you to think. So many genius part to this film, would love to see more like this!
This was beautiful and cathartic! I’m so glad he got to be with his child again!
The best thing about short films is that you can infer whatever meaning you want to
I think another important lesson of this brilliant short film is to not judge other (and their actions) at first glance. Most of the time there is a reasonable motive behind people’s actions.
Didn't expect the ending, but made me understand why after all those years, he kept watering "the tree". Beautiful. 👍
What I got from this story is that when that sandstorm came, it destroyed everything but that stick was there to let the old man hold on, but in the end he dies and goes to heaven where his daughter was already living a life that she wanted to. The moral that i found is that maybe there are some efforts that seem useless but God knows its real value and He rewards us for them which this world is unable to see..
Yes you can do a lot good things in life. Often you got no rewards for your good work but our God sees what we do and our souls will earn it after our material life has already ended.
I wish you a nice day and lots of Love :-)
Yes, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a gracious God.
OH MY GOSH THIS WAS SO GOOD! and the character animation and weight of movement was fantastic, way better than the longer film Sonder which appeared below this one in the search results !!
10/10
it's seriously one of the best short film I've ever watched its sad but no words were ever spoken it's one of the saddest heartbreak for a character that hasnt spoken a single word it's a creative flim it's great 10/10
