Academy-award nominated Japanese animator Koji Yamamura has created this tiny, beautiful story about a Japanese headmaster who saves a whale, returning a debt for having been saved from starvation after the second world war. The 2-minute film took him 5 months to make and comprises 1700 drawings.

Lament of the Whale I cry for our shared grace I cry for your human family I cry for your whaler's family I cry for my family I cry for me With your warm hand you could stroke my skin like so many of your family have chosen to do You would feel my warmth and gratitude Why do you touch me only with your cold harpoon as you thrust it into my flesh? I thought after so much killing that we would both crave harmony That we had learned that we both feel and love That we both treasure life That we revere our comrades That we embrace our children That we share the same blood of our ancestors That our hearts both beat the rhyme of life How my child will cling to me as you haul my dying carcass out of the sea How she will cry Until you kill her too
