Balloon
2017, Japanese. Directed by Hiromichi Nakao.
A great adventure in the comfort of a room thanks to a microscope. The infinite universe that expands if you look at a medaka, a leaf, an udon and a stone. Before you know it, you are lost in the small world around you. A big world. This work is a diary of observation from the sowing of the Fusenkazura seed to the withering away.
