In presence of Pierre Földes, Tuesday November 8.
In Tokyo, an earthquake disrupts the lives of these curious characters. A cat, a frog, a lost woman... Adapted from six of Murakami's short stories, this is a delicate, magical gem in animation.

Pierre Földes is a jack of all trades: Painter, composer, filmmaker. For this first feature film, he contacted the famous Japanese writer Haruki Murakami to ask if he could adapt one of his books. Usually reluctant, Murakami finally agreed and offered his short stories. In this animation using six interwoven stories, he has spun a tale of intertwined destinies and dream sequences in which the fantastic rears its head. A lost cat, a giant toad, a schizophrenic accountant… and a catastrophe that triggers everything. A real gem of an animation.
