In a post-war alternative timeline, Japan is divided into the North, controlled by the Union, and the South, controlled by the United States. A mysterious high tower rises within the borders of the Union. Three high school students promise to cross the border with a self-built airplane and unravel the secret of the tower.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dreamy, melancholic meditation on youthful promises and the weight of dreams, wrapped in a richly atmospheric alternate-history setting. The film moves with contemplative patience, letting longing and mystery accumulate more than it resolves tension.
