About this film & photo credits

A short film assembled from real photographs, with gentle motion and AI narration (Kokoro Isabella for English; system voices for the other languages). This film does not use live-action footage or a human voice recording. The English film includes on-screen captions and a quiet, original instrumental score. The selected language changes the narration, captions, and transcript; the website text remains in English.
