To start I love the stop motion animation it really added to the mise en scene of the whole thing and have done stop motion before I know how much work had to go into it.
Though out the animation I notice some cool things, like the butterfly I knew at first watch, had to mean something important, at first I thought her heart, but at the end, I realized it was her soul. I think they portrayed it beautiful and very creative.
I also thought that when the mom and daughter are 'flying' around I interpreted as there love for each other, the only other thing that flew was the butterfly. The only true loves in the animation child and self.
The sailor had a lot of interesting connections, the hat was one of the girls most prized possession, but lets it fly away when she has her daughter. The daughter and mothers love for each other are shown there the cord that connects them, and the sailor just rips them apart.
This, of course, leads to the strangest yet most power parts of the animation, when the girl runs offset and rips herself apart. From that scene, I took that the grief of losing her child and finding out her love doesn't care about her is worse than death, that she breaks time and reality itself to show the depth of that emotion.
