In a tale set in ancient Japan, a princess and her lover flee from their pursuers, determined to choose death over capture. Their suicide pact takes a chilling turn when only one of them survives, consumed by a thirst for vengeance. 'Hana no Kage' originated as a 17-minute film, earning acclaim at the 18th DoGA CG animation contest and later expanded to a theatrical release. The shorter 15-minute version, recognized at the 2nd Kichijoji animation film festival, delves into this haunting narrative of betrayal and retribution.
