Shingo Natsume describes the story of the movie as (machine translated):
Despair and prayer. A desire to know “the truth that cannot be seen with the eye.”
This film depicts the trajectory of a 15-year-old girl as she descends into the depths of night. She possesses
both sane madness and an overly pure rebellious spirit. The sight of her reaching out for “the beautiful things that are truly there” in the darkness may appear to each viewer as despair, or something entirely different. However, this is also a universal story that stirs the conflicting emotions that everyone hides deep within their hearts. We hope you will search for that faint light on the screen.
