Satoshi Kon's masterful follow-up to Perfect Blue traces the career of a legendary actress, Chiyoko Fujiwara, as seen through the eyes of documentary filmmakers. 

Though Chiyoko has withdrawn into retirement, filmmaker Genya Tachibana receives the rare opportunity to interview her about her life. When he gives the actress a token from her past, Tachibana and his cameraman Ida are thrust into Chiyoko's memories, reliving the key moments of her life and uncovering the truth behind her fabled career. 

This timeless tale of passion bends reality and delivers emotion in a way only Satoshi Kon could.
