twist. The cinematic Japanese animated feature was written and directed by highly respected animator Takashi, who first came to the attention of American fans with his work as chief animator for the cyberpunk masterpiece Akira. Fans of Studio Ghibli’s more darker, more mature work, such as Princess Mononoke, will find much to enjoy in this original film. The Story: Palme, a wooden puppet, has been created to care for
the dying wife of his master. After her death, Palme loses his
sense of purpose and ceases to function. He remains inactive until
a mysterious woman, followed by a group of ruthless pursuers, arrives at
the master's workshop. She is desperately seeking aid in
delivering a precious package to its destination across the world.
When his master is mortally wounded by the woman's pursuers, Palme
agrees to aid the woman with her mission, thus taking the first step in
his long and incredible journey to discover who he truly is. |
