Synopsis
Spoiler shield
A lupine sculptor crafts a tiny figurine of a girl, imbuing her with life and memories. He places her in his elaborate miniature model of a city, but what are the intentions of this godlike wolf-man? A revolution is brewing among his playthings, while a lone boy is driven towards a different path of revenge... The first taste of director Tomoyuki Niho’s distinctive new animation project.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
