moved!

This is a short film of a distant childhood memory of a man about a girl and porcelain unicorn which she gives. The man is a German and the girl is a Jewish. They meet in a closet at an empty house during war and they meet again at a house which is completely clean after a few decades.

The film is only three minutes but the film fills their life from childhood to old age. Moreover, there is only six lines. At first, I thought that only six lines are too few and it is impossible for me to understand this story but it was wrong. This film uses not only six lines but also facial expressing, light and darkness (e.g. a light is lighter which he has and darkness is closet), and big sounds (e.g. broken sounds of window and porcelain unicorn). A combination of these elements is enough for me to understand the story and be moved.
