Dozens Of Norths

幾多の北

Nippon Animation   ³ 

“Norths” are very solitary places. In his attempt to describe the people he has met while visiting those “Norths”, the narrator cautions: His memories are fragmented and very unreliable. Based on a series of his own illustrations, famed animator Koji YAMAMURA delivers his feature-length debut, an ominous and surreal stream of consciousness.
