Chinese animator Yufei Liu looked within himself for this story of an emotion that is powerful but has no name. His “I” figure is anxious about other people’s reactions to the fact he hasn’t thrown a cup of coffee away. Why does he feel that way? Four trivial events from his childhood may explain it. A delightful film that will particularly resonate with anyone that values waking up and smelling the coffee.
