Review:

The aesthetic animation combined with the emotional narration added to the dramatic feels throughout the film. For me, the storyline isn't really up to my taste since it's just clips of people's day to day life. I see this more like an animator playing around with animation to tell a story. If it were a live action documentary I think I won't bother watching it but I can't deny that it's stress-relieving.
