Synopsis:

Lost and displaced, three young individuals find themselves adrift in an unsettling metropolis, their arrival triggering widespread disruption. Driven by a shared desire to return to their origin, they pursue a mysterious rabbit, the key to their journey back. The city’s power structure is governed by an unusual trinity: a serene monk, a formidable demon, and a solemn priest, each wielding considerable influence. The eldest of the trio, Koto, appears to possess a unique affinity for this strange land and its intricate history. The narrative explores themes of belonging, responsibility, and navigating unfamiliar power dynamics within a visually distinctive and somewhat melancholic setting. It offers a character-driven exploration of finding purpose while grappling with displacement and an otherworldly reality.
