Writer/Director: China

Cast: Mutsumi Tamura, Shiro Saito
Production: TOHO animation STUDIO

This is a coming-of-age animator's story spun by up-and-coming director China, who was the youngest director to be selected for the "TOHO animation Music Films" program and also storyboarded and directed THE TALE OF THE HEIKE (平家物語, Hiraka Monogatari) and THE APOTHECARY DIARIES (薬屋のひとりごと, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto). The film boldly depicts the fun and cruelty of "animation = breathing life into something" as a play within a play.

The music was provided by a miraculous collaboration with the one and only pianist Hayato Sumino, who has been extremely successful in the field of animation. These two 28-year-old geniuses bring you a new type of animation that also lets you enjoy the sound.
