Synopsis:
On a distant world, humanity has endured cycles of devastation and rebirth. Now, a new cataclysmic event threatens to extinguish existence entirely. The arrival of a powerful, enigmatic figure from above signals an imminent end for humankind. This story unfolds through the unique medium of stop-motion animation, crafted by director Yutaro Sawada. The visual style evokes a sense of quiet dread and wonder as it explores themes of mortality and the cyclical nature of time. It centers on humanity's reaction to this inescapable fate – their struggles, resilience, and perhaps, unexpected connections in the face of oblivion. The narrative emphasizes atmosphere and character interaction over high-octane action, offering a contemplative exploration of existential themes within a fantastical setting.
