A Voice From the Lantern © (2007)
Written and directed
by Anton Zane
Based by on an original play Anton Zane,
the lead character Mayuko, who much to her family's dismay,
flees Japan to live in the United States. She longs for
home after living in the demise of her unfulfilled dreams
and resorting to working in a peep show parlor.
Mayuko telephones her family in Japan.
She learns through her angry and traditionally minded
father that her grandfather who she was very close to
has recently died. Mayuko's father tells her to never
come home. Mayuko devises a plan to conduct a Japanese
festival ceremony and call on her grandfather's spirit
to help guide her home.
She takes what she thinks are sleeping
pills and tries to stay awake long enough to make contact
with her grandfather in the afterworld. She is suddenly
awakened by a customer named Galopin who believes he
is the world's greatest pantomime.
Galopin and Mayuko's longing for what they
can't have causes a very unusual bond and fondness helping
Mayuko ultimately choose life over death.
