Book of Shadows

In the heart of Hiroshima, some hibakusha – survivors of the atomic bomb – share their stories in front of the camera, entrusting the present with the memory of a wound that still burns. Their faces and words intertwine with archival materials, radiant sounds, and hand-drawn animations, composing an intimate narrative that gives shape to the invisible and rekindles memories that have survived both time and oblivion.
