Another documentary about Japan, this time from Rockhopper focusing on Japan’s animation industry and the young hopefuls that desire to join it.

Japan is the world’s third largest economy. It’s a place where work is taken very seriously indeed – but so, too, is entertainment. And there is nothing the Japanese like better than losing themselves in fantasy, particularly the country’s famous animation films. This film follows the fortunes of Kaori, an animation student, who works long, long hours painstakingly producing frame by frame her animation film.
