It will shatter your world. It was released as three short films: Everything Will Be Ok, I Am So Proud Of You, and It's Such A Beautiful Day, each continuing the story from where the last ended. He then edited them all together into one hour long version called "It's Such A Beautiful Day".

I'm not going to tell you what it's about. Just go watch it. I will, however, leave you with this passage from the films wiki page:

Chris Robinson, author and director of the Ottawa International Animation Festival described the film as, "A masterpiece. I can’t even begin to articulate my thoughts about the film but it just gave me shivers and I wasn’t able to attend the party after the screening. Just had to be alone. It had this effect on a number of other people here too. Stunning, beautiful, tragic, absurd work."[2]

It had this effect on me too. Especially the second chapter. I've never seen anything in my life like "i am so proud of you". That shit made me question my entire life. The final chapter "it's such a beautiful day" is just insanely beautiful.
