The tentative title “ghost” refers to the true, unspoken feelings that exist in everyone’s hearts, and the film is a challenging work that lyrically depicts the loneliness and bravery of Nike, a young girl who rebels against the absurdity of the world to protect the “starry sky,” as well as the emotional subtleties that come from her interactions with others. Director Natsume said, “I want to create a work that pursues reality and reflects the current times with an animation that could be considered fiction.”
