The small town of Yumetoi has been sealed off from the outside world for 20 years by a mysterious phenomenon called “Zon”. But more and more people, like Ippo and his girlfriend Remi, begin to wonder: What lies beyond “Zon”? Takuji SUZUKI’s experimental science fiction film will capture you with its surreal atmosphere, which is intensified by a unique combination of digital and analog images.
