Award-Winning Short Animation About A Lost Soul Meeting Death
RELATED:
This beautiful video takes a tender look at one soul’s attempt to bargain with death before finally succumbing. The animated short, by And Maps And Plans, a small Dublin-based studio, has raked in loads of awards and was even shortlisted for the 87th annual Academy Awards. Its title, ‘Coda,’ is fitting for a video about our ultimate end. Take a look!

This is beautifully done...and honestly people? Nobody knows what the end is like. It's one thing to show a theory or prediction, but another to pretend like you are certain you have all the answers. I think this is deep, and I also believe that for all we know, death could be like this. It could also be an infinity of other things. It's not up for us to decide. You cannot know what it's like to die if you've never done it. I guarantee you that if you are reading this or writing around it, you are alive. Again, gorgeous project, bravo!

I had NDE in 2010 March under a swimming pool. Death is from my experience waking up to another reality.

One of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long time ... truly moving and elegant in it's sophisticated simplicity.

That is not how I believe death will be...but it was very interestingly done.

Beautiful video, but does anyone else just see Studio Ghibli? Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away? Or is that just me :)

nice piece of Art, this is... i believe you guys that posted, only watched, but didnt grasp the message(or it might be something personal, who knows...). the unavoidable stance of death, is what makes life possible... even when one is trapped inside mind and body, so much that , to negotiate with death itself seems viable... i would place something like this, as a title : "being undone". namaste

How sad to think that this is considered the "best" the world has to offer in regards to death and eternity. Read the words of Jesus Christ found in the New Testament of the Bible concerning death and Paradise [ heaven ] . Nothing vague or abstract or left to interpretation with Christ concerning eternity. Read the Gospel of John and you will never be the same. I'm not promoting religion, but reality. "For God so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son that who ever believeth in Him shall never die."
