Le conte du monde flottant
The Tale of the Floating World

  1. Overview
  2. Fact Sheet

Hiroshima. On the morning of 6 August 1945, a dazzling light engulfs the coasts of the floating world. A man remembers… the shock, a violent blow. Bodies stretching with pain. Dreams of the past in the present, visions of the future in the past. The child he used to be… Before the light thundered. Before the world became blurred.
