煙之花　花之煙

Kazuko-chan has decided to move out. This is the voiceover over Kazuko's crying figure in the meadow. The voice is that of Haruko, Kazuko's best friend who is in a sanatorium. When Kazuko went to visit her, she was told to "imagine" her wrapped in a flower. On her way home, when she is followed in the forest by her classmate Yamada-Kun, Kazuko sees herself wrapped in a flower this time, while climbing a tree branch. With these strange thoughts in her mind, Kazuko arrives in a strange town. She smokes in an incinerator with her new friends and falls in love with the place. One day, on a bicycle trip, she discovers that the sanatorium she had missed is no longer there. There is only a vacant lot. Kazuko crouched there and wept. It was the seventh day after Haruko's death. The transience of memory and the sadness of forgetting. A fantasy of flowers and greenery, with a touch of fantasy that visualises the sadness of fading memories.
