INSIDER'S PICK
A truly magical and unique film! The questioning of the absurdity lurking in the balance of society is reminiscent of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland." Director Kenichi Sono's depiction of coincidences and inevitabilities, fakes and common occurrences is truly outstanding as a "theater of the absurd."

MESSAGE FROM FILMMAKER
Sometimes things happen that are beyond our control. Sometimes they defy explanation. I have always been fascinated by meaningful coincidences as I grow up, and I feel that they might be guiding people to a better life. That is to say, those strange happenings can tell us something important about our lives and ourselves. In order to make the meaning behind all the events Shiho experiences stand out clearly, I filled the world with shady characters. Therefore, audiences may feel as if they are trapped in the world which are made of “fake plastic.” However, by the time they finish watching this film, they start believing what you can see is not everything and even some bad things happening to their lives could be just a part of meaningful coincidences. I believe this film could give audiences hope for a better tomorrow.
