Japanese animation

I recommend to you one of Japanese animations "Tsumiki no Ie" (The House of Small Cubes) directed by Kunio Kato which won Oscar in 2009.

 As his town is flooded by water, an old man is forced to add additional levels onto his home with cubes in order to stay dry. But when he accidentally drops his favourite smoking pipe into the lower levels of his home, he recalled the nice family moments.

At the beginning of this animation bored me, but in the end I found that it was touching. It takes only 12 minutes, so I think that you can see something good :)
