Synopsis:

The work unfolds within a dreamlike, surreal landscape populated by figures drawn from folklore and mythology. It centers on a solitary individual navigating this enigmatic world, their journey marked by fragmented encounters and symbolic interactions. The narrative eschews traditional plot structures, instead prioritizing atmosphere and emotional resonance. Visuals are fluid and evocative, employing a distinct art style that blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary animation techniques.

Exploration of isolation, memory, and the blurred lines between reality and imagination are key thematic elements. The experience is less about following a linear story and more about immersing oneself in a visually compelling and psychologically rich environment. It offers a contemplative viewing experience, inviting interpretation and personal reflection rather than providing definitive answers. The animation serves as a powerful medium to convey abstract concepts and internal states.
