Raised by his single mother in a seaside village, a salary man is nostalgic for his bucolic childhood. His memory is haunted by an alternate world in an abandoned lighthouse and an encounter with a mysterious girl named Mari. Though clearly influenced by Japanese animation, the film has a distinctive sense of soft color and smoothly created character movements. The narrative moves evenly between fantasy and reality, giving a unique flavor to this film. Grand prize winner at the Annecy International Animation Festival.
