De jeunes hommes et femmes s’engagent et se d\u00e9sengagent dans une s\u00e9rie d’activit\u00e9s enfantines au sein d’une maison japonaise traditionnelle. Le statut de leur relation n’est pas clair et la continuit\u00e9 du r\u00e9cit est compromise par la forme qui ressemble \u00e0 un souvenir ou \u00e0 un r\u00eave. Tranquillement troublant, le film explore la fronti\u00e8re t\u00e9nue entre l’attention et la violence dans les dynamiques relationnelles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young men and women engage and disengage in a series of child-like activities within the environment of a traditional Japanese house. The status of their relationship is unclear, and the continuity of the narrative is undermined by the form resembling a memory or dream. Quietly unsettling, the film navigates a thin line between care and violence in relational dynamics.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
