Synopsis

A small town of a mountainous region. High-school girl, Machi did not find her way yet. One day, she has fun to invent fantastic stories with her girlfriends: each one with its manner continues these imaginary accounts which weave between them an invisible bond… For the adults of the city, the things are very different. They evolve/move in a parallel world: they made their life and are plunged in realities of the daily newspaper. Teenagers and adults seem to follow side by side two trajectories which have few chances to meet. And yet, of the similarities between the two courses start to come up. One day, a storm causes a terrible crumbling on a ground of locust and discovers an underground forest, that the eruption of a volcano kept intact since centuries. Little by little, reality and imaginary meets, last and future mix, outlining a world soon fantasmatic where all becomes possible…
