What happens

Ordinary Life (Japanese: 普通の生活 (Futsu no seikatsu)) is a 2025 short, 2D digital animated film written and directed by Yoriko Mizushiri. The French-Japanese co-production film depicts the succession of moments that we repeat over and over again in ordinary life but they are never the same, and everything changes and wavers. It was selected in the Berlinale Shorts section at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, where it had its World premiere on 15 February and compete for Golden Bear for Best Short Film.
