The Limit of Sleeping Beauty
Directed by Ken Ninomiya
Produced by Studio3, King Records
A melancholic psychological drama about a struggling actress whose grip on reality fractures as she inhabits the liminal space between performance and consciousness, anchored by longing for a lost love.
Aki is an unsuccessful 29-year-old actress who eventually became a magician's assistant. While pretending to be hypnotised on the stage, Aki finds the boundary between reality and illusion becoming increasingly vague. For Aki, the only beautiful memory she has was the time spent with her lover Kaito.
