Inspiration 1: La maison en petits cubes

Unlike other short films,  "La Maison en petits cubes" doesn't show directly a character coping with loss, but a character with forgotten memories who later started to relive his memories while exploring the sunken house of his youth to look for his pipe.
This short movie also proves the phenomenological approach to this project showing how personal experience and memories can affect our perception of the world around us. It is interesting that even though this film resembles some of the other short movies that I will post about, in its lack of dialogue or spoken words, but the focus on the music in this case stimulates the senses of the audience and helps them to relate easier to the unnamed character who in the beginning was just a an object in the movie but later on became a more sympathetic character that attracts the attention of the viewers.
This project also shows the "father" who was just an object of curiosity in the opening scene but later became an element dominated by emotions, with the help of the of musical transitions and lack of dialogue, reliving memories of his daughter playing piano after he noticed the red piano on the floor.
