Description

[Machine Translation] Kei Ishikawa, who has attracted worldwide attention for his works "The Book of Fools" (17) and "Honeybee and Thunder" (19), has adapted the short stories of Ken Liu, the world-renowned author who has won the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award, and the World Literature Award for Fantasy Literature. A magnificent entertainment filled with wonder and amazement (=sense of wonder) about the life of the first woman in human history to gain eternal life! Starring Kyoko Yoshine and co-starring Shinobu Terajima, Masaki Okada, Chieko Baisho, Jun Fubuki, Kaoru Kobayashi, and a host of other splendid actors. --The story is set in the not-so-distant future, where at the age of 17, Rina, seeking freedom in her life, leaves her newborn son and leads a vagabond life. At 19, she meets Emma, who becomes her teacher, and takes a job creating ("body works") under her. She then began working for her mentor, Emma, in the creation of body works (plastination) for people who had lost a loved one, so that the body could be preserved in its original form. Emma's younger brother, Amane, develops this technique and finally achieves "immortality" through stop-aging. Lina becomes the first woman in the world to receive this treatment, and will live forever in the body of a 30-year-old woman...
