Synopsis

Ninomiya Azusa, a depressed elementary school teacher living in Tokyo, is feeling overwhelmed with professional and personal difficulties. A voice tells her go to Imore Island, where all her problems can be solved.

Program Note

Azusa, who is a teacher, loses her job and her boyfriend all at once. Upon hearing the sound of the sky saying, “Find the Treasure on Amoray Island,” Azusa goes through a mythical adventure while heading to the Southern island and encountering a swindler revolutionist, a hikikomori singer and a deported prince. It is a masterpiece that harshly criticizes and satirizes Japanese mythology and history. (KIM Bong-seok)
