As you might have already guessed by reading my constant rants against the French "Nouvelle Vague" and "Cahiers du Cinéma", I must confess that I often find short movies (as well as a few normal-length ones!) to be way too artsy for my taste...but it really wasn't the case here! ^____^
So it's definitely not a surprise that this "Transferring" won several awards at SAPPORO SHORT FEST 2012 and at BUSAN International Film Festival 2012!
In a mere 20', in fact, they managed to squeeze in a deep, sweet little story which I couldn't help but seeing as a metaphor of life: within society (the classroom) we often have to wear labels and we might feel left out; outside of it (the windy way home) it can be an inhospitable, cold desert; but if we know how to let people in (the afternoons at Morikawa's) and how to use some humor (Masuda's dedramatizing remark at the end), then every encounter, no matter how fleeting, can end up being a real treasure.
Such a beautiful, oh-so-Japanese message! ^____^
