Plot

Little Masashi relocates from an evacuation center to a quaint village in contemporary Japan, where he uncovers a startling secret: every child possesses the power to connect with extraordinary creatures. However, these connections are exploited for a sinister scheme to harvest the children's negative emotions. Takashi Murakami’s directorial debut unfolds as a visually captivating epic, exploring the depths of childhood aspirations and anxieties through his signature artistic lens. The film offers a poignant reflection on the innocence of youth amid darker, more oppressive elements lurking in the background.
