The Red Spectacles
What dream are you welcoming?
Directed by Mamoru Oshii
Produced by Omnibus Promotion Requiem Studio
A surreal, darkly comic neo-noir mystery about displacement and fate, where a disbanded agent navigates a transformed world through dreamlike, ambiguous encounters.
Summer 1995. With the arrival of the "Age of Cats", the former Kerberos police unit is now disbanded. However one member remains, a stray dog who returns to his old roost after a three-years exile. This wild dog no longer has a master, but now the "Young Lady of Fate" will guide him on his journey.
