I really like the visual style and atmosphere of the movie. It has a nostalgic feeling that I really like. The backgrounds are quite good, the lighting is perhaps the best thing in the movie, and the music is really lovely. So, a technically good short, and very pleasing to the eye.
The problem is the lack of a proper narrative. Where are the houses going? What are they looking for or searching? Why do they uproot? That is never explained or even hinted in the story.
Also, this is a deja-vu imagery, anthropomorphic whatever: cars, planes or, in this case, houses.
The movie was made by a group of animation students, who certainly have promising careers ahead of them, but without story there is no good film no matter how good the animation is, as the story and the narrative make the film not the contrary.
Overall, a pleasing short, but the lack of a proper story didn't do it for me.
