世界望郷の旅 Journey to World Nostalgia

世界望郷の旅 Journey to World Nostalgia

Enhanced Content
“Our memories are someone else’s fabrication — a lie.” ── This is a story of rampaging “infants” condemned to die at age twenty-five. The work follows a group of peculiar young people who possess the intellect of adults yet the inner world of newborns. They have no parents. All they have are warm memories — memories that were never real.
In an age where AI and humanity, truth and fiction blur into one, director Hiroshi Koike poses an urgent question: What is the very root of being human?
