A surreal, cutout-style ("kiri-gami") animation tracing a young girl’s physical and emotional journey as she discovers life’s pain and joy. She wanders through an unnamed Western city-a dreamlike world filled with imagery inspired by Dali, Magritte, de Chirico, and Escher. Though the experience transforms her, only she will understand the depth of that change upon returning home. (The film includes a poem by Su Tong-Po, a renowned Chinese poet.)
