Sayokyoku

English Title : Serenade

Serenade ／ Shouyakyoku ／ 小夜曲

Description

The story follows a man whose pet, an egg that cannibalizes, devours a woman at a bar one night, or involves an old man who plays the violin; the egg grows larger each day. In a night without prey, the narrative shifts to the moonlit poetry and skeletal imagery. The film was created using half‑shaded relief puppetry and photographic backgrounds, with the photographs taken in Fussa.
