Set in a quiet city corner, the animation opens on a poster leaning against a brick wall, a streetlamp casting a soft glow, and a small moth that flits toward the light. A young girl, clutching her beloved teddy bear, watches the scene unfold, and the inanimate objects and creatures around her all seem to possess their own dramas. Despite its brevity, the piece spirals into a conflict that culminates in a tragic climax, illustrating that even a simple poster can harbor a vivid, unseen story. Created by Tezuka Osamu, who felt constrained by large corporate studios, this private work reflects his desire to express genuine emotion rather than adhere to conventional narrative. It demonstrates how animation can bring everyday surroundings to life and reveal the magic hidden in ordinary moments.
