Synopsis:

This anthology presents a series of interconnected vignettes exploring themes of perception, memory, and the elusive nature of truth. Crafted by animation collective G9+1, the film draws inspiration from the legacy of Junichi Kouchi’s *Namakura Gatana*, reimagining its spirit through a contemporary lens. The stories unfold within subtly stylized environments, populated by characters grappling with ambiguous situations and shifting realities. Rather than straightforward narratives, these segments prioritize atmosphere and visual storytelling, inviting viewers to contemplate the subjective experience of reality. Expect a thoughtful, introspective experience that favors nuanced character interactions and symbolic imagery over action-driven plots, offering a unique glimpse into modern animation sensibilities while honoring a classic influence.
