Pendulum not trying to embellish reality, she is represented as. This beautiful and sad animated flip-book is like a drama, all the emotions spend. Also very tragic. One can easily immerse in the context. This animation is authentic, it shows Japan as! The portrait of so many families in Japan ... Life for a Japanese man is his work, always staying out late, drinking Friday night etc.. As a result, the family passes behind, no time for us and without he realizes, he finds himself in retirement. When he realizes all this, it's too late ... He tries to stop the clock, it symbolically shows that he wants tostop time, but again, it's too late ...
The implicit message that the author wants us to understand is that: time flies, you should take advantage and pick up his life before it was damaged and washed away by time.
Touching.
