Synopsis

A mischievous alien throws time into chaos for a day, in Tezuka's seasons-shifting short made for Expo '70.

This short animated piece was shown at the Seiko Pavilion during the Osaka International Exposition in 1970. Through a chaotic day of time disturbance, which is caused by a mischievous alien, the story conveys to us the importance of time. The rapid change of seasons reflects Tezuka Osamu's favorite theme of "metamorphosis."
