This animated short film is based on the true story of a little girl in Brazil who visited an orphanage with her mother to bring gifts to the children living there. Her yellow umbrella stirs memories for one little boy of a life and loved ones now lost to him. The revealing of his story touches the little girl, teaching her empathy and kindness. She gives him a gift from her heart that he grows up to repay with his own acts of kindness.

The ultimate love expressed. It brought me to tears.

Thank you for moving hearts and souls through this masterfully created piece!

Thank you! This was beautifully conceived and brought to life. Thought provoking, wonderfully conveyed through exceptional animation. Nothing is worth anything if not used to make someone else happy.
