This 2000 Academy Awarded short film is very heart warming but at the same time gives a sense of loneliness. As you can tell from the title, the main character is a father and daughter. The story starts off with them riding a bicycle together. After stopping together by a boat, only the father hops in and rows the boat away. The daughter just watches him get smaller and smaller until soon he is nowhere in sight. From childhood to adulthood, the little girl soon becomes a lady. Seeing the girl getting on with her life, it seems like she is happy but as the accordion in the background plays, we can sense that there is always sadness somewhere inside her. Since there is no dialogue throughout the film, it made viewers think and feel the emotion of the daughter. This film gives a sorrowful but loving tough to those who watch it.
