From genius director Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue, Paprika),
take a journey through cinema history via his unique, world-bending
perspective.
With the renowned Ginei Studios shutting down and their buildings about to be demolished, film-maker Genya Tachibana sets out to commemorate this historical moment by interviewing the studios former superstar - the now-reclusive Chiyoko Fujiwara.
Thirty years on from her disappearance from the limelight, one question lingers - why did she end her career and vanish at the peak of her acting powers? The truth lies within a key found by Genya many years prior a key that is far more than just a memento, and instead serves as an emblem of her entire raison dêtre.
As Chiyoko recounts her story, so Genya and his cameraman are pulled into a wide-ranging journey through the lens of her films. Interviews and recollections, acting and reality, all blur into the single rich tapestry of a remarkable life.
