An animation about rooster-crowing.

This is a story about “company.” Aging societies are a global trend. Dementia is an issue that people must face. The old man in the film imitates a crowing rooster while looking at a rooster in a photo to reminisce his old days working as a farmer. The end of the film shows the child and father accompanying the grandfather to the rooftop to imitate crowing roosters as the sun rises.

The three of them watch the bustling city streets together. Because of the rooster crowing sound, the demented grandfather can finally feel the company and understanding of his family, and his life is filled with vigor on a busy morning in the city.
