Hitomi (Akane Ono) was once a concert cellist before giving birth to Eri (Mone Shitara). Today, she writes music for her daughter, who goes to school to be a musician, and somewhat lives through her having the future she never did. Then one day, they are in a car crash and Hitomi loses her sight. Now she has to wear camera contact lenses and Eri, who is paralyzed in a hospital, wears VR glasses. This allows them to have the same body.

Living with the constant supervision of Dr. Tomio Miike (Shusaku Uchida) and his son Satonishi (Takuma Izumi), this film asks if a virtual life is a true one; if Eri should have to experience her mother's existence and how Hitomi tries to make up for what happened.

Director and writer Takeshi Kushida has created an interesting story here and it makes you question what life is and how the digital world may change your definition.

No pun intended - the movie is quite interesting to say the least. The main theme - or rather the invention that is proposed here apparently is in the making ... mind blowing stuff. You can tell that it feels very well researched! But of course it would not be a horror movie if things would not .. have twists and turns.

The actors play their parts perfectly. And the amount of invention and fantasy that plays into this .. VR is reality right? Well it does feel like it is .. and it may very well help people ... but obviously it can be taken advantage of too. A really interesting end - putting the right note to it ... if you allow the pun.
