''Father and Daughter'' is a 2000 animated short film from UsefulNotes/TheNetherlands, directed by Michael Dudok de Wit.
A father and daughter go bicycling on the Dutch coast. They stop at a bluff overlooking the sea. The father and daughter get off their bikes. The man hugs his little girl goodbye, climbs down the bluff to a boat, and then rows away, never to be seen again. Time passes, and the daughter revisits the bluff again and again. Decades roll by, she grows to adulthood, she has a family, the sea coast at the bottom of the bluff is drained to form a Dutch [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polder polder]], and the woman ages into an old lady--and still she goes to the bluff, looking out into the distance for her father.
