SEKILALA-uncovered family
One of the main elements in the film is our progression as a society past the information age. The core narrative depicts a family bound by an advanced virtual reality. As the main character, the father is experiencing a desire to revert back to human / live interactions even though he does not recognize this yearning. After encountering living furniture he is prompted to search for tangible interaction whereby the story then dissolves into a chaotic tragicomedy.

Yuka Shimura (1976) and Kentaro Shimura (1979) were born in Yokohama. Yuka Shimura was graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design London in 2006 and Kentaro Shimura was graduated from Tokyo Polytechnic University, College of Art, Department of Cinema, in 2003.
