Synopsis
Four-minute animated short depicts a rescued delinquent and her savior's lifelong love, told through pendulum-like highs and lows.
Furiko, meaning "pendulum," shows the highs and lows of a family of two—a high schooler, and his future wife, whom he rescues from delinquents. From the brilliant mind of comedian Tekken, comes a heartwarming story of a couple overcoming their differences even as they struggle through life. Not a moment goes by without meaning or expression in these four and a half minutes.
