Kozui / Original Title: CRUE

[Machine Translation] A stray cat that suddenly disappears, people transported to concentration camps, a Christ-like street dweller, a mother who dies just before her 90th birthday... A man living in the back streets of the oldest and largest city in Europe meets a mysterious man and woman at a fire scene. A man living in the outskirts of the oldest and largest city in Europe meets a mysterious man and woman at the scene of a fire. A writer who says that all events are connected like rings, and a pianist who plays "different music" in a magician-like way. Soon the three begin a strange relationship. A beautiful and sublime story of disappearance unfolds in a town full of signs of catastrophe, with the flooding of a river a hundred years ago as a rallying cry.
