Harmonie

Every person has his or her own little world. Among the 34 bustling students of classroom 2-1, there are many such worlds.

Honjou Akio's world — my world — is filled with passionate talk about last night's anime with Yoshida, Watanabe, and other friends. It's an fun, comfortable place…. But, I always wonder. Wonder about the world of Makina Juri, smiling and surrounded by gorgeous friends on the other side of the classroom.

One day, I enter her world. But it's not as simple as it sounds.

Harmonie was one of the four films of Anime Mirai 2014 (Young Animator Training Project), a project funded by the Japanese government's Agency of Cultural Affairs in order to support training animators.
