On Dia de los Muertos, a little girl is at her mother's grave, when suddenly she's transported to the land of the dead. At first she's frightened, but by the end of her journey, she's... mostly happy. The film has no dialogue, but the visuals and music tell the story quite well. It seems bittersweet, because, you know... her mother's still dead. But it's definitely much heavier on the sweet than the bitter. Anyway, it's a really good film, very touching.
