S Y N O P S I S
I made this animation for my 92 years old grandfather, who lost his mother when he was only 3 years old. Now my grandfather is suffering from Alzheimer’s and losing his precious memories.
I love and respect him very much, so I wanted to pay tribute to him by creating a film that shows his challenging yet successful life. Setting his mother as the central theme of the film, I wanted to deliver a message that the love between a mother and son never fades away. "Mother" made my grandfather experience the everlasting love between him and his mother in a way he never has.
My grandfather is stepping forward the last day of his life. I hope one day he will finally meet his mother and be nestled in her arms, saying that he has lived a good life so that his mother could be proud of him.
