In an apocalyptic world stripped of all life and emotions, how can one find hope and the will to live ? Cocolors revolves around this concept of hope through a drawing made in collaboration with the two main characters, Fuyu and Aki. As time goes by, more and more people are dying in the colony which profoundly affects the moral of it's inhabitants, who have indulged in religious acts probably to keep their sanity. Whereas Aki is drafted to the Salvage Unit, Fuyu completes a drawing illustrating his conception of the outside world, according to Aki's description. However, one question remains : what is thecolor of the sky ? The drawing, which was primarily a way to convey the thoughts of Fuyu, then takes another dimension. It becomes the metaphor of the spirit, with the color of the sky being the soul, as it is suggested by the name of the movie (I suppose it's a mix between Kokoro (spirit) and Colors thus making Cocolors).

Overall, I think it's a good dystopian movie which did a good job at dealing with mature subjects though more childish elements, and has a good balance between dark and wholesome moments. Despite it's short length, it managed to develop a great evolution of the characters and build an interesting story. The OST is pretty good and relevantly used, the CGI is fairly well done and the art really nails the chaotic and cold atmosphere. Overall a good movie, I definitely didn't regret watching it !
