after lost

In simple definition, it is a short film who I love. For story, for acting, for music, for end. But, especially, for Gerard Depardieu voice.

A vineyard lost his wife.

In same day, when he decideds kill himself, a visitor from Japan changes everything offering not only hope or consolation but, more important, a new perspective about life and, not last, a symbolic gift becoming more significant than she can imagine.

I was seduced by the beautiful work of young Eriko Takeda. And by cinematography, reminding me Japanese drawings. A film about lost and new chance. About wine and about a young woman with role of angel. About winter . And useful bullets.
