Director’s Name: Kasumi Hiraoka

Writer’s Name: Kasumi Hiraoka

Producer:

Country of Origin: Japan

Country of Filming : Japan

Language: Japanese

Runtime: 9 minutes 2 seconds

Film Description:

She was born in a clothing factory, a girl stitched into life among cloth and thread, in the quiet hum of machines.

One afternoon, she fell asleep on her desk, a quiet black hole at the center of the workshop.
When she awoke, she was no longer on Earth. 
In this strange, otherworldly place, she meets a boy and falls in love, before suddenly vanishing. The boy begins his search, following her absence all the way to Tokyo. 
Where did she go? 
When did she pass away? 
Was she in the universe, or in the realm beyond death? 

To be continued.
Shot entirely in the working atelier of THEULTRABLACK—a new brand born from the very factory that produces garments for Paris collections by Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto—this film features its real seamstresses as the dancers who hauntingly move through the factory floor.
The film stars Leon, Paris Collection runway regular for Rick Owens and more, and YUUMIKO, a top model for ZARA, adidas, and Levi’s.
At the helm is director Kasumi Hiraoka, whose fashion-forward cinematic vision captivated audiences at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
In the film’s final sequence, clothing becomes a vessel of rebirth, and something deeper is awakened as a resurrection unfolds at the very place where new fashion is born.
