Synopsis
Art student Eiri becomes obsessed with a cursed Victorian portrait of Cossette, experiencing supernatural phenomena and time-blurring mysteries.
Eiri Kurahashi, an art student who works part-time in an antique shop, becomes captivated by an exquisite portrait of a Victorian-era girl named Cossette. The painting carries an unsettling reputation—previous owners have met with mysterious misfortunes. Drawn inexplicably to the artwork, Eiri finds himself experiencing strange phenomena connected to the portrait. As his fascination deepens, he begins to sense that the girl in the painting may be trying to communicate with him from beyond the veil of time, leading him into a haunting mystery that blurs the boundaries between past and present, art and reality.
