監督プロフィール
Director Manno had no idea that by 1996 there was a "Law to Prevent Hereditary Disease Offspring and Protect Mothers" in Japan which resulted in over 16,000 forced sterilizations of disabled people. He was shocked that this was the case until recently and wanted to share his feeling with the world. To prevent the film from becoming too moral, he mixed this topic with sci-fi elements and made it accessible to a wide audience. Supported by Tokyo Kanda Fantastic Filmfest.
