Outside of a small village in Japan, a mysterious pond is inhabited by mythic creatures. Their story is of revenge, tragedy, and the power of real love. A classical tale which translates wonderfully to film.

VIBE

A visually stunning, melancholic fairy tale steeped in Japanese folklore. It's a hauntingly beautiful, tragic romance that feels both ancient and deeply personal, lingering long after the credits roll.
