As Chinese legend tells it, every individual has an invisible red string tied to their pinky that will lead them to a future soulmate. This film places a creative spin on that proverb, using a single red thread to animate a love story. In just four minutes Akai Ito manages to work through the romantic ups and downs of a couple. There is a confession, dating, separation and finally a resolution. There are no words or color variety, just an unbreakable string with a life of its own telling the story of the people it connects together. This is minimalism art at its finest tellinga full story with few resources, and it deserves to be viewed by more people for it's beautiful simplicity.
