Rodinu si člověk nevybere, ale zase díky jejím příslušníkům může být život zábavný. Japonský animovaný film od věhlasného studia Ghibli pro diváky jakéhokoli věku. Bylo jich šest – otec Takaši, maminka Macuko, středoškolák Noboru, malá Nonoko, babička Šige a pes Poči. Společně tvoří rodinu Jamadových, na první pohled obyčejnou a tuctovou, jako tisíce dalších v soudobém Japonsku. A přesně takoví jsou i na druhý pohled, ale ten zároveň ukáže, že v jejich každodenních trampotách se skví nenápadná krása, která dokáže na tváři vyčarovat úsměv, zahřát na nitru a dokonce i přinést nejedno moudro o tom, co je štěstí a jak si ho udržet.
Plachý chlapec, který se vyjadřuje pomocí haiku, a bublinová, ale nesebevědomá dívka spolu jednoho dne prožijí krátké kouzelné léto.
Winter Days is a 2003 animated film, directed by Kihachirō Kawamoto. It is based on one of the renku (collaborative linked poems) in the 1684 collection of the same name by the 17th-century Japanese poet Bashō. The creation of the film followed the traditional collaborative nature of the source material – the visuals for each of the 36 stanzas were independently created by 35 different animators. As well as many Japanese animators, Kawamoto assembled leading names of animation from across the world. Each animator was asked to contribute at least 30 seconds to illustrate their stanza, and most of the sequences are under a minute (Yuriy Norshteyn's, though, is nearly two minutes long).

A cinematic haiku by Chris Marker.
A collection of three short 'haiku videos' by Chris Marker. The first haiku, 'Yanka / Tchaika', shows the river Seine passing under a bridge. A bird in flight stays motionless in the air. The second haiku, 'Owl Gets in Your Eyes', shows Catherine Belkhodja smoking a cigarette while a superimposed shot of an owl in flight fades in and out over her face. The third haiku is a tribute to the Lumière brothers. In an homage to their style, Marker documents an event of daily life in only a minute, choosing to film work on the Petite Centure (a Parisian railway) in May 1994. Due to the work, no train actually passes and we are simply shown desolate train tracks, making the haiku a dry parody of 'L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat'.
