Synopsis

A hungry monkey's encounter with a village turns a stolen persimmon into an excuse for cruelty. Elsewhere, the rabbit and tanuki's feud reveals a world where revenge offers little comfort, while Urashima Taro is drawn toward the pleasures of a palace beyond ordinary life.

Behind familiar faces and promises of reward wait punishment, temptation and unsettling consequences. In their encounters, cruelty can hide behind righteousness, and innocence provides no protection.
