Intertwining Worlds(2024)
Aki, 18, is visiting Tokyo for three days. Nominally she's there to help her relatives with emptying out the apartment of her uncle who has just passed away, but actually she's just looking forward to her new life as a Tokyo college student next spring and entertaining vague dreams about becoming a celebrity. Among her uncle's things are a tangled spool of 8 mm film, a photo of an unknown woman and an envelope with an address. Aki ends up meeting his uncle's old friend Saguru and watching old films they shot together 20 years ago. While she's spending time in Tokyo with her friend Yumi, Aki is haunted by film-like dreams and visions related to the uncle she never knew.
