Traumerei

Synopsis

From Jakarta to Cameroon, from the Iran-Iraq border to Tokyo, the lives of people summoned across time and space from different places, are played out within the fate of a damaged piano called "Valfaart". The story, which flows freely in a series of thought-provoking pauses and intersections of time, is transformed into a dream that the piano has always seen, entrusted to Traumerei... This is the long-awaited third work of Shimada. Look at the amazing secret! (Source: Seirin Kogeisha, translated) Note: Won the Tezuka Osamu Creative Award in 2008.
