“…becomes wilfully lost in the labyrinths of cinema”
—Windows on Worlds

“A wonderfully inventive, genuinely eerie narrative experiment”
Time Out

The flapping reel of an unfinished film is all that’s left of an aging silent star’s career, and of her kidnapped daughter, Bellflower. A detective and his assistant follow the kidnappers to the missing woman, and to a film longing to be found. Morio Agata’s sentimental score recalls a time long past in director Kaizo Hayashi’s ode to silent cinema. Uncover the mysteries of this newly restored masterpiece.
