Picnic

Coco, a dark angel wrapped in crow's feathers, is committed to a closed institution by her parents, where she meets Saturn and Tsumuji. Together they undertake expeditions on the prison wall and even try to escape by extending their walks to adjacent walls. Believing that the world will soon end, the trio decides to break out once again, to have a picnic in a suitable place and watch the end of the world. Shunji IWAI, one of the most interesting and productive artists in young Japanese cinema, likes to devote his films to people who live on the fringes of society. In PICNIC they try to put these "losers" away, an act the trio avoids by fleeing to the wall. It is the only place "between" the institution and society, where they can move freely and from which they, as "outsiders", view their surroundings and life itself.
