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 delves into the intricate lives of these young individuals who navigate a world where intellect mirrors that of adults while their emotional core remains akin to newborns. They exist without the presence of conventional “parents,” relying solely on fabricated memories that provide them with a sense of warmth and belonging.
Director Hiroshi Koike’s ambitious creation challenges the audience to ponder the essence of humanity amidst a backdrop where the boundaries between AI and human consciousness, authenticity, and illusion are increasingly blurred.
