Emi (NDE Experience Short Film) - ESMA 2006

For those who didn't understand: The father and daughter got in a car crash. The room they were in was the place you go when you're on the edge of living and dying. The dad was being walked with by the nurse because he was getting better, and was going to live. However, he saw is daughter dying (her chasing the cat). The boat itself was death. That's why the inside was so bright. Her dad went into the light so his daughter wouldn't have to. Her dad sacrificed himself so she could live.

For those who are wondering what is happening the little girl and the guy were in an fatal car accident, but the dad sacrificed himself to save his daughter.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience - we are spiritual beings having a human experience. The Bible explains this very clearly.

era un niña cuando vi este corto por primera vez, hace años, hoy lo vuelvo a ver y todavia lloro viendolo, amo este corto

I think I understand this. Emi and her dad were going for a drive on her birthday (I assume because of the present). The dad wasn't paying attention and they got in car accident. They were both nearly dead when they reached the hospital. The cat came to Emi in the other world and led her to the waters edge, where the ferry and Death came to take her to the underworld. The father didn't want his daughter to die yet, so he took her place because, we all know that when Death comes, he won't leave until he gets a soul. He entered the ferry with Death and left for the underworld. Emi lived after that and grew to be a strong young woman, or something like that. I'm not quite sure what the nurse, butterfly, and cat were supposed to represent.

here's the story; the girl and the dad were in one car and they were in a car accident but the girl got injured but the dad survived so the doctors said the girl can survive but, with a transplant and the dad knew he would die giving her the transplant and so he did and the boat which was the death boat. As you saw the girl was about to go in which meant she was about to die but her dad comes and he goes into the boat which meant he gave her his organs or whatever got damaged in her and now the dad is dead and his daughter lives.

Wow... I was just browsing through my old Facebook conversations and I remembered how deeply this video touched me that I felt the need to share it with everyone when I was a kid. It's great to see it again after many years, although sadness is the strong point here, nostalgia was what I captured intensely this time...

El amor de los padres es tan grande, siempre dan todo por sus hijos. Realmente triste el vídeo, pensar que muchos niños se quedan huérfanos, por favor valoren a sus padres para que después no sea demasiado tarde :c

That's so touching It's like the butterfly was hope The cat was the illness And then the cat led her to death which is the boat And then instead of her going on the boat her dad used his life instead Like if you agree

my dad died last month very suddenly due to a car accident. sudden death never occurred to me as something that really could happen. I'm only 13 and I wish he had stayed at least for my middle school graduation and see me grow up. tell your parents you love them and appreciate them because you are very lucky to have them

This is a really beautiful video. It hits harder if you can relate to having to make hard decisions for your children. This video really impacted me. Also gotta give props for the art style and direction and musical score.

en gros, pour ce qui ne comprennent pas, la partie de la vidéo qui est avant l'entrée de la petite à l'hopital n'est qu'une représentation de son coma 😢, son père qui suivait l'infirmière, qui représente la vie, était en train de se faire réanimer, sa fille suivait un chat qui la conduisait jusqu'à ce sombre bateau qui représente la mort. Le père a sauvé sa fille en montant à sa place sur ce bateau. Très belle métaphore.

If anyone wants to know this is exactly what happened (based off the video): The girl and her dad were in a car accident, and the girl almost died (near death experience) the whole video was a representation like The butterfly meaning life and the cat meaning death. The boat and the guy with the glasses represented the grim reaper taker her to Judgement. But her dad saved her life which meant he died (that is why you saw his cloths at the end of the video) also when you saw him look sad before boarding the boat he was sad for leaving his Daughter. The nurse was with her all the time that's why she was in the representation. Hope this helped!

For the confused people:: Father and daughter were in a car crash. The woman in the suit was basically Life, trying to get the father back to his body and all, while the daughter was supposed to be the one to meet Death, the guy who was on the ship. The father saw his daughter making her journey to the afterlife, and he pulled away from Life and went after his daughter, then eventually traded his own life for his daughters. He couldn't live without his daughter by his side, since she was his joy, as shown by the flashbacks. Plus, she had her whole life ahead of her. So her father went with Death while the daughter went back with Life, where she finds out her father is dead in the hospital. The End.

I sat in my bed hugging my pillow just crying my eyes out for a good few minutes still crying now writing this is emotional and I want to say this is amazing wish I found this before and I really hope no one has to go trew this anytime soon this is a masterpiece

I remember watching this years ago. I finally found it again...this short traumatised me, I remember the night so clearly, I was crying so hard and it’s been in memory ever since.

my dad has been dead five years and i just made 13 three days ago i miss him and love him so much all the tears i have cried and cried again but maybe one day ill get to see you again.....

The moment I realised what was happening... I cried so loud. . .

translation of the phrase at the end: "the greatest gift one can give is the gift of oneself"

Me: * crying every single time I see this video *
