Would you share your deepest secrets to save a friend?
In a tranquil neighbourhood of Tokyo, seven teenagers wake to find their
bedroom mirrors are shining.
At a single touch, they are pulled from their lonely lives to a wondrous castle
filled with winding stairways, watchful portraits and twinkling chandeliers. In
this new sanctuary, they are confronted with a set of clues leading to a hidden
room where one of them will be granted a wish. But there's a catch: if they
don't leave the castle by five o'clock, they will be punished.
As time passes, a devastating truth emerges: only those brave enough to share
their stories will be saved.
Tender, playful, gripping, LONELY CASTLE IN THE MIRROR is a mesmerizing tale
about the importance of reaching out, confronting anxiety and embracing human
connection.
