What's it about?
This is a superbly spooky horror tale. Leading the cast is Sho, an 11 or 12 year old boy who attends Yamato primary school. One day the school disappears and is replaced by a gaping rock and sand filled hole. From the perspective of those inside the school there is a different scenario - to the students and teachers it seems that the outside world has disappeared.
Cut off from everywhere the children and adults soon panic. Phone lines are down, radio stations don't work and no one can understand what has happened. Some scream, some cry, some fight. All are despairing.
