Golden Time
Directed by Takuya Inaba
Produced by Robot Communications
A whimsical yet poignant animated fable about an obsolete television set's struggle against abandonment, suffused with 1980s Japanese nostalgia and gentle existential reflection.
In Japan, during the eighties, a recently discarded old television set refuses to accept its fate and tries to break out of the junkyard where it has been sent.
