TANAKA Kenta / WATANABE Nao / OSAWA Kenta[Japan]

Outline

Multiple artists spin a single story in a relay-style piece. Their diverse styles collectively depict the essence of the film from numerous points of view simultaneously. The wolf, unjustly cast as the classic folktale villain, is the protagonist in this film, which attempts to free viewers from the fetters of assumptions and biases so prevalent in contemporary society, and impart the message that we are all protagonists of our own tales.
