I almost didn't finish the little movie. I became so emotionally affected. I'm 71 and feeling very vulnerable from time to time. This little story gives me a little hope. ❤️🙏🏼

I was the daughter in this story. I lived it. This made me cry. My dad was the kindest man you could ever meet. I love this.

My grandma has Alzheimer’s and forgot who I was the other day for the first time. Seeing this film reminded me what was most important. Even though she doesn’t remember who she is, or who I am, I treasure all of the memories I have of us together for the both of us.

As the eldest daughter that has reached the age of getting married. I realized there are a lot of moments rarely captured in pictures all along my life. This made me realized why my parents or mostly elders love to take pictures when their loved ones gathered together or simply when the silliest moments occured, because they want to keep the memories and treasure it. Thank you for capturing this message in the most wonderful way. A well-deserved movie indeed.

As a granddaughter I felt this so deeply, I was sobbing as I was watching this. My grandpa passed away in our house last summer, he was one of my friends, my partner in crime, a father figure and he had a faith in me like no one else. He was ready to go for a while but still miss him and I would do anything for one last hug or one last conversation with him. I know he’s looking after me and that gives me comfort. Sending everyone who’s lost someone much love!!

Crying a lot remembering my grandparents. They play a big role in our lives.

''We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Hearts are never broken And time's forever frozen, still''

I showed this to my kids in class today and they all reacted well to it!! I love how feelings were conveyed without the need for words!!

This made me cry so bad . Not even a single word was spoken but the emotions reached out . Too good :)

Maybe there should be more shows like this. To help kids learn about their feelings and maybe the adults aswell. Very nice film.

I cried the whole way through. A beautiful story about the imagination of a child, memories, and so much more. It's amazing how saying so little words can tell such a deep and beautiful story. I loved this, it deserves all the honor it already has and more.

My grandmother passed away last winter. She had dementia and we started to look after her in our house. İ couldn't be there when she passed away and i couldn't go through my grief since it feels like she's not gone. While watching the short film i just bust into tears in the middle of the night . Thank you so much for everyone who've come up with this film.

This is wonderfully put together. My grandfather has severe Alzheimer's, getting worse every day. He moved in with my parents a while ago, and has since forgotten nearly everyone and everything. It is so hard for everyone involved, and takes so much patience to deal with someone who's memory is gone. This is such a sweet film.

Grandparents are the worst in the sense that hypothetically and generally speaking, they’ll go before you do. And when you have the good ones it’s quite literally experiencing a person’s presence who had a lifetime to learn to love. Then boom. Gone. This is a cute film though. All the memories we will just have to hold on too, pretty but sad thing to think about.

This brought me to tears. I know we all had loved ones who passed away and it can hurt to sometimes remember that. My grandpa passed away far before his time. He was in a hospital for a quick surgery that shouldn't have caused any problems but he got infected with sepsis and didn't make it. I was a 13 year old depressed kid then and my mom didn't let me see him cause of the state he was in, however I did manage to see him once when he was being rushed into another surgery. I miss him so much, he was such a kind person. I'd visit him so often in my childhood, he and grandma practically raised me along side my parents. He was always a happy guy, before he went into the hospital my mom told him to hang in there and he grabbed a pole and said not to worry he's hanging on in an attempt to make us less worried. Till his last moments he was a positive soul. Nine years have passed since and I'm still touched by videos such as these. I miss him, a lot.

I lost my grandma in 2021 I am still sad when I think about her , watching this reminds me of the good times it makes me feel better😌

this was a well put together short film. It was relatable, easy storyline to understand, and straightforward... I use to work with this population and for the staff members it’s extremely hard to see them transition and pass on but on the other hand for some it’s a blessing. Also, great job on doing your research of this topic. ❤️

This should be part of essential dementia training! What a beautiful, emotive animation that crosses all languages and goes straight to the heart. Interesring it shows there is no comfort from news channels - just greyness and more life sapping fear! Bravo being creative!

This wonderful animation reminded me immediately of my own father who came to live with me and my family when my mother passed away. He was suffering from early stage dementia and could not live own his own, no matter how much he wanted to. He was sad and depressed after losing his wife of 65 years, as we all were, but he gradually got used to the new experience of another family, along with all that goes with it, and started to enjoy all the attention from everyone, particularly all the grandchildren,and great grandchildren that visited him almost daily. We eventually had to put him into care, but his health was failing, and he passed away at the age of 92 years. Of course we all miss him, but the little boy in this animation reminds me so much of the desolation that the whole family felt at his passing. I am so glad that I watched this, and although it made me sad, it also made feel happy for that little boy, who found a way to remember his grandpa. Well done to all who were involved in the production of this beautiful little film.

This story remember me old those days when my grandfather also watched news and I'm waiting for my cartoon time and when he was sleep I changed channel he knows everything but he didn't disturb me on my cartoon at last he says when your show completed then off the t.v. and go for study .....love u grandpa😊😍

Estou chorando como a muito tempo não chorava. Simplesmente fantástico. Fico muito feliz em saber que é uma obra brasileira e dá pra reconhecer isso nos detalhes. Só posso parabenizar e agradecer.

Me emociona saber que uma obra desse nível técnico e com esse nível de sensibilidade pra contar uma história vem do nosso país. Mas o que mais me emociona é assistir isso e pensar na minha avó que está neste momento deitada numa cama, sem contato com a realidade, sendo cuidada pelo meu pai enquanto aos poucos é levada por essa enfermidade. Todos esses prêmios são o mínimo que vocês merecem. Obrigado, Miralumo.

he taught him through his drawings to reconcile himself with his memories before becoming one of them ❤️

Puxa! Que lindo! Estou aqui, agora, sentindo um apertinho no coração de saudades do meu vovô... meu papaizinho de fato, já que o outro não me quis. Só lembranças boas que tenho dele, mas mesmo depois de 14 anos, choro de saudades como estou agora... Parabéns pela homenagem a todos os avós que nos fizeram e ainda fazem tão felizes.

That was the true story of an every grandpa and her grand son i will love it love you dadu ❤❤..... we miss you

This story doesn't need words to convey the message. Memories never die.

My grandmother suffered from Alzheimer the last 2 years of her life. She was only able to remember her youth... she forgot her husband her two boys (my father and uncle) and all nephews including me... I was only 12 at that time. My father will try hard with photos, stories, and songs to recover her memory but was practically impossible. Instead, her brain created another reality. She will continue repeating that her husband left her and she was going to commit suicide by jumping from the bridge but that day a woman (my mom) stopped her and invited her to live with us. So until the last day, my grandma keeps kissing the hands of my mom and blessing her husband (my dad, her son) for saving her life and inviting her to live together at our (her) home. Big hug grandma, where ever you are! ❤️

I've watched four CGI short films today, and I've cried like a little boy each time. I really need a holiday. 🌴

Maravilhoso ! Emocionante , sensível , real e mágico . Todas as emoções de filha e neto presentea. Uma beleza de animação . Orgulho da arte brasileira ! Parabéns a toda equipe 👏👏👏!

This is beautiful and painful..im crying..and there is not a single dislike... This is a true masterpiece🥺🍁❤️

I just stumbled upon this by chance ..... Absolutely sobbing. What a MASTERPIECE.

My grandfather passed away due to major brain haemorrhage ....after the first attack(which went kindof unnoticed) his memory was either about the past or the future...he either forgot my dad and my mom and asked about where my grandmother was(who had passed a long time ago already) and why is their a strange lady(my mom) in his house or about the future where he would constantly say things like the guy I'm getting married to is not a good person or how was my work or how are my in-laws( I was 15 at that moment). He kept forgetting everyone or messing up the timelines frequently but there was one thing which stayed a constant ...me. He always remembered me and was always so worried about my marriage, my work, my relatives, my life. The day he had the second major attack he was all paralysed with only half of the face and eye balls functional and he was trying to whisper my name while they were taking him to the ambulance from our house gate. And I was sleeping. My parents thought it was a great idea to not wake me up because obviously he is gonna be at hospital in a few hours and be fine and come home. But I never got to see him. I can recall how i won't shut up and keep chatting with him all the time about his birthday, about my day, about school, about his life all the time when i was tiny...and then i grew up, i became COOL, and i had better people to talk to, and i forgot there is someone out there who loved me so much that even on his death bed his concern was my future and my life. I am 22 now... don't know why I'm writing this but if i get one more chance, i wont stop being that talkative little girl to him. That was the kindof unconditional love which i think i m never getting ever again in my life.

The true experience of this film occurs at the time when we shed tear during the last day of grandfather's love to his daughter and grand son

I think Words cannot define the depth of this Masterpiece. It is a truthful story and is quite visible these days in our friend circle.

Comecei a assistir esse filminho e fui cada vez mais me envolvendo na história. Linda e real onde tem acontecidos todos os dias em vários lugares no mundo todo. Excelent trabalho a todos que se dedicaram a esse filme bárbaro. Parabéns.

What a beautiful & moving film, it did more in 15 minutes than most feature films can accomplish in ten times that amount of time. Simple, moving, emotional with not a second of screen time wasted. Kudos to all involved, this really is an astounding achievement 👍

I'm missing my grandma, she was my best friend, she was there for me anytime I return to home, we just talk together like children, she hugged me when I need it, she raised me and lived with us 33 year, I cried alot and get depressed when she started to forget us and our name, she forgot who she was, she just turned to a sleeping buty in her last year, I stayed a lot near her washing to hear her voise again or even open her eyes, I miss her so much, I visit her grave every month and still cannot stop crying, to miss someone who can not return to life is a pain without a cure.

Esse curta descreveu quase que em detalhes os últimos anos que vivi ao lado do meu avô... Hoje eu só tenho a agradecer pelas memórias e ensinamentos. Meu coração se encheu de amor e saudade com essa animação... Muito muito obrigada!

Memories never fade. Stucked with my grandpa's thoughts. He is theirreplaceable person of my life today & forever. Missing him so much now after the film😢

Memories of my 94 year old dad who died 10 years ago. RIP Dad. You are so loved. ❤ ❤ ❤

Muito bom, adorei a história, as cores, a fluidez e como transmitiram tanto sentimento sem uma unica palavra

Somos quatro alunos da escola de Alvito, uma pequena vila no Alentejo, Portugal. Agradecemos aos nossos amigos brasileiros por tanta arte e coração. Filme lindo!

The best part about this is that it strikes deep into your heart without a word being uttered

😢 Viví esta historia con mi abuelita, falleció este año a dejado un gran dolor y vacío en mi. Sin querer llegué a este lindo corto y de inmediato su recuerdo vino a mí. Gracias al creador del cortometraje.

In my opinion, it is a very good short film because you can learn to give value to your family and accept that we are all growing up. The animation is fantastic because it makes you emphasize with the reality presented.

I was a proud and loved granddaughter every time I missed my grandfather I watched this I can't stop crying. I love you, grandpa.

My grandfather died two weeks ago.. And this just made me cry😩. I miss u dada Jan😓❤

É incrível como a arte consegue alcançar áreas do nosso cérebro que nem conheciamos. A arte é uma forma de expressão e sempre possue uma história 🤕

É magnífico, sou de Curitiba e vi pelo jornal hoje, é tão belo o estilo, e a história é muito simpatizante além do que ela nos faz rir e chorar e é isso que a torna tão boa! Parabéns pelo trabalho que foi muito, imagino, Deus os abençoe...que continuem com esse trabalho

This reminded me of my beloved grandma who passed away this year... Grandma I really miss you

Just saw this for the first time while at work and can’t not get teary. This is beautiful and it reminds me of my grandmother. Thanks for the memories!

I lost my grandfather this year and while watching this it really reminded me of him ..it is a true masterpiece. We all are always very close with our grandparents and do not understand their value until we lose them 💔

assisti com meu sobrinho de 2 anos. rimos e choramos juntos. parabéns pelo trabalho maravilhoso e cheio de sentimento! ❤️

This stunning animation made me cry, in all honesty. It reminded me of my Late Grandfather, whom although didn’t forget his memories, was always kind and supportive. It’s really shocking how well emotions and thoughts can be conveyed just through body language.

You've done a good thing with this "short". It made me cry, but it was a happy but melancholy feeling. How many of you out there ha e fond memories of grandparents or even parents that you have lost? This short helps to re-live those precious moments in our minds. Thank you for making this, it made me cry happy fond tears

É inacreditável que não tenha ficado entre os finalistas ao GP do Cinema Brasileiro deste ano. Vou além: poderia tranquilamente estar entre os indicados ao Oscar!

Never met my grandfather, but from the stories I heard, I'm proud of that tough bastard. Would have loved to have had him around longer.

Que trabalho e história lindos!! Tô apaixonado! s2

Nmrl eu fiquei com lágrimas nos olhos vendo essa bela animação, imagina vc tá lá nos seus últimos dias de vida e se relembrado de tudo que já viveu. Essa animação me lembrou aquele ditado, " Viva a vida como se cada dia fosse o último" ou Viva a vida da melhor forma possível, sempre busque por novas aventuras.

I miss both of my grandma from paternal and maternal they both care Alot for me my mom usually leave me in their care as she had job

My Daddy died from Alzheimer's which he had for 20 years. I miss him but know we'll be together with our heavenly Father God one day. Thank-you for a sweet memory although it's difficult to see through my tears. I love you in Christ. Warmest hugs from northern California.

Esta historia me hizo llorar, me recuerda a mi papito, que partió en 2017 a los 84 años, fue el padre más amoroso, alegre, dedicado y considerado. Excelente padre y abuelo. Un abrazo al cielo mi Fefito lindo, estas lágrimas son de alegría por haberte tenido y podido atenderte tus últimos 7 años de vida, gracias

I cried out of jealousy because i never felt the experience of having a grandparent by my side when they're still alive. I'm so jealous of you guys. 😭

I lost both my grandfathers at a younger age. While I am glad I didn't have to experience the pain of them forgetting, I wish they could've lived to see me grow up and graduate, and make something of myself one day. They'll never get to see it.

I lost my grandfather recently, he nutured me when I was just few months old and was a supoort system of my family. This animation made me cry and will always be my favorite out of all animated films I have watched till date. Thank you to the whole team of Miralumo Films.

😭😭😭😭 this spoke to me. My grandfather died with alzheimers as part of his deterioration and even though hes been gone 20 years I miss him everyday.

segunda à noite e é isso, tô lembrando do meu avô que se foi no Natal e desejando que as memórias boas voltem desse mesmo jeito. Obrigada por esse filme lindo

I've never had the opportunity to experience what having a grandfather is, my grandfather (my father side) died ages ago when i wasn't born, but when i was 6-7 i still had my grandfather (my mother's side). I remember he was the sweetest person i had in my life, and always called me and my sister "gemelline" which is twins in italian but in a different way and he used to forget everything and always wanted to see me, my sister and my mother but sadly he wasn't feeling well and went to an hospital but the doctors weren't good and accidentally made a mistake with his operation that killed him. My grandma called my brother and told us that my grandpa was sleeping deeply, and that moment we all knew he was dying. This movie made me cry because i really wish i could have helped my grandpa this way and how much i wanted to spend more time with him. Thank you for bringing me the happy memories!

I have adult grandchildren living in my house and they basically ignore me except when they need something. I feel very unloved and unappreciated. Thankful to be blessed to have friends and neighbors who care about me and watch out for me.

This really hit the feels. So much emotion presented in such a beautiful and creative short film. Had us bawling like babies

My grandpa passed away in 2016, i miss him.... this film make me cry.. remind me of my lovely caring and friendly grandpa :"(

Wow ...how the moments we lived one day becomes a memory . It's so nostalgic feeling when u remember all those memories when u see these kind of videoes I still remember how my nanu(grandfather) enjoys the every happy moment with me and cherishes it.I know those days (vacations)which makes me happy thinking about it. The phase was saddest when he forgot me but I know in his heart I always lived .Now it's around seven months after his deceased. U will always remembered by us❤.

Muitíssimo obrigada por disponibilizar online! Ficou lindo! Minha avó veio morar conosco alguns meses antes de sua morte e eu só gostaria de ter conhecido ela antes, para termos mais tempo juntas.

Isso me lembrou do meu avô, ele teve Alzheimer e morreu em 2019, meu velho se lembrava da juventude dele toda menos a velhice, mas sempre tinha uma história pra contar dessa época

Amor, que bom que tem lembranças boas da sua avó. É mesmo bem assim. Quando eles lembram de muitas coisas é sinal que nos deixarão. Dói mas passa. Amo você Felipe Cordeiro. Quando for nossa vez de sermos avós amor, que deixemos lembranças inesquecíveis assim também. Como a sua. 😊😊😊😊😊

This film made me realize how much I love my grandparents and I want them to know but i don’t know how. They are the people that I love the most in my life and I’m so scared of losing them. Thank you so much for this

Memórias são asas que nos ajudam a unir as pontas dos fios. Gratidão aos criadores desse curta metragem.

Que delicadeza... Parabéns ao conterrâneo pelo belíssimo trabalho. Que coisa maravilhosa!

Such a heart warming story. This reminds me of my grandpa who past away last year. He’s the one who takes care of me since I was little cuz my parents was always far away for work, he thought me everything from writing, reading, always saying thank you,be contented of what I have etc.. I miss my partner in crime when it comes to adventure and pranking our family members. I miss my grandpa.

Beautiful animation, thank you so much for creating this. It makes me think of my grandpa.. I wish I could see him one last time, but I'll never forget the day he left me. It was the scariest day of my life that I dreaded would come as his health declined and I could do nothing about it. I found him, and it was one of the most difficult things to have to tell grandma when she was at work..

This is impressive how this short film expresses feelings and emotions without any dialogue...

Idk why i'm crying when i watch this short movie. This is touching my heart.. I don't have grandfather since i born, but i can imagine how is my father become a grandpa soon.. Maybe he will forget all our memories because his demensia too :') and maybe i can't lose him :') . Thankyou because you make this short movie. Love from Indonesia ❤

I watched this on my lunch break at work... I am now crying. ❤ It's my Grandpa's birthday today too, I lost him in Feb this year. But he's happy with my Grandma now ❤

Never take what you’ve got for granted ~ life is short so appreciate those close to you. ❤

Very touching, beautiful. The joy of loving and caring for our parents and grandparents is essential to a full life.

My 98-year old father is just like so. Sometimes he forgets about us when the memory is gone. Yet when we try so hard to comfort him, we get our dad back. I am so grateful he is still with us in controllable conditions. We are the lucky one. 🥰

The time will come eventually.. Have to let go everything's no matters how hard it is but the time to live in this world has to ended. And for those left behind will always remember the memories. So live life to the fullest before it ended.

I will always cherish the moments of my dad and my kids.. my dad loved his grandchildren and my kids loved him back... we miss him.

There is so much more depth and emotional power and heartfelt content in these wordless animated movies than in normal movies. Beautiful work. 😍

Muito obrigado por essa obra, sabemos que muitos passam por situações assim e nos faz entender como cada momento, registrou e memória tem uma história, e as vezes a deixamos guardadas.... deu até vontade de desenhar...

A beautiful story! Let´s make loads of memories with those who are still here., Thank you!

I am genuinely crying after watching this. I know my dearest grandmother is watching me and guiding me. I love her so much. I took so many of my life decisions based on random coincidence. I know she is guiding me. I know she is always with me. I will never forget the last smile she gave me. So much depth, so much innocence, so much love. I miss you Dadi so much ❤️❤️

i felt the scene where the kid looks over to the now empty chair...my grandfather passed just a year or two ago. While he didn't have dementia, the house felt empty without him.

QUE ANIMAÇÃO LINDAAA!! Fiquei muito emocionada!! Vcs têm mtt talento!! ❤️

Touching in so many ways. No matter how old you are, this message is about love and how when we share it, we all benefit. Well- made and beautiful short video.

My father passed away 4 weeks ago at the age of 82. We had amazing memories...he lived to see his grandkids and great grandkids. What an amazing blessing ❤

Que linda homenagem, fiquei emocionada lembrei dos meus avós, quando era criança amava dormir com eles, eu dormia bem no meio dos dois sentindo a maior segurança e amor do mundo 🥰 eles deixam um saudade doída viu.

Irei guardar essa animação no coração ♥️ queria ter tido mais tempo com meu avô, mas eu tenho certeza que as memórias que vivemos e criamos, sempre estarão comigo, aonde quer que ele esteja! 🌟

Que história linda e que trabalho maravilhoso! Emocionante!!! ❤
