+
+Patema, a young girl, explores an underground abandoned industrial
+warren of tunnels. She reaches a large vertical shaft in which dust
+falls *up*. When she sneaks back in her room, the Elder of the
+settlement scolds her because she broke the rules: that area is
+forbidden and dangerous, and being the daughter of the deceased Chief,
+she should be more careful and set a better example.
+
+Of course, her curiosity wins, she goes back to the shaft, and falls
+down it… only to come out a hole in the ground, falling *up*, and be
+saved by Age, a boy who's upside-down. Or maybe she's the upside-down
+one?
+
+There's plenty to like about this movie: the drawing and animations
+are great, the music is beautiful and sets the mood perfectly in every
+scene, the way the changing view points are shown is just brilliant.
+Watching it, I was often surprised by the additional layers in the
+story, and generally impressed by the attention to details.
+
+YOSHIURA Yasuhiro (吉浦 康裕, Pale Cocoon, Time of Eve) has written an
+engaging story about differing ways to look at the world, about the
+dangers of isolationism, partisan reading and hiding of history, how
+easily the past can be rewritten to suit the purposes of the people in
+power. It's also a story of friendship and wonder, about how seeing
+new worlds, or old worlds in a new light, can be mind-expanding but
+also terrifying.
+
+It's not without problems, of course: the evil people are too
+theatrically so, the strict society Age lives in is an extreme
+caricature of an absolutist regime, there's some uncomfortable subtext
+of victims becoming oppressors, and the widespread simplistic
+assumption that removing the one bad guy will magically upend
+centuries of indoctrination, especially when seeing the other as not
+really human is concerned.
+
+On the other hand, it can be very good starting point for discussions
+about "others" and how even extreme differences in how we perceive the
+world do not necessarily imply differences to our essential nature.
+
+All in all, a rather good, if ambitious, work, once again highlighting
+Yoshiura's talent in showing us new worlds, comparing and contrasting
+multiple ways of living in and looking at them.
