• Japan se anima: Women as main Character

Guiniguada Theatre.Cycle in collaboration with Selecta Vision and Filmoteca Canaria.

The Anthem of the heart

After her family broke up because of the unconsciousness of her words, a mysterious "fairy egg" appeared before little Jun Naruse and assured her that the only way to never hurt anyone again was to silence her voice forever. Since then, Jun feels an intense stomach-ache every time she tries to talk and depends on e-mail and mobile messaging to communicate with others. At least until the day that her tutor includes her in a working group to work out a musical with Takumi Sakagami, a young man who never talks about his feelings, Natsuki Nito, an exemplary student concerned about her love life, and Daiki Tasaki, a baseball star forced to retire for an injury...

Miss Hokusai

Tetsuzo, better known in the West as Hokusai, was an artist famous throughout Japan for his amazing works, from a giant Dharma embodied in a sheet of paper of 180 m2 to a pair of sparrows painted in a tiny grain of rice passing through an endless of masterpieces that he realized in his magical atelier and that today they are famous in the whole world. What many people do not know is that the third of his four daughters, O-Ei, a stubborn and independent young woman, anonymously performed many of the works attributed to his father today. This is the never-told story of O-Hey, an animated portrait of a free-spirited woman eclipsed by the shadow of her father unfolding through the changing seasons.
