A ruined house haunted by its last ghosts. An old woman, a young girl, a male calligrapher. The director brings them back to life, a meditation in the silence of the memory of time, before the jaws of a crane rend the air asunder.

Filmmaking workshop in November-December 2013 in Tawara, a village near Nara, the birthplace of the Japanese film director Naomi Kawase, who directed this film with her assistants and the team from the Film Department.
