When Kao, a young girl from the village, meets a mystical polar bear who understands what she says, she turns to it for help!
• Possessions – During the 18th century. A man lost deep in the mountains in the middle of a violent storm stumbles across a small shrine. Entering it, he suddenly finds himself in a room from another world, where discarded umbrellas and unused kimonos come alive, possessed by spirits…
