Dareka no Manasashi (Someone's Gaze) Animated Short

Dareka no Manasashi is an animated short film directed by Makoto Shinkai (5 Centimeter Per Second and Voices from a Distance Star). He's becoming one of my favorite anime director. It's a story about young woman growing up and facing difficult situations in life and her relationship with her father. I find it very sentimental and heart warming.

Also if you like this, definitely check out his latest film Garden of Words. It's beautiful. Here's the Garden of Words trailer below.
