Abstract:

"Satoru, a heartbroken boy who has withdrawn into his room for a year, uses a remote controlled robot called 'Hinokio' to take his first, cautious, fearful step into the outside world again.  He goes to school and finds fellowship.  Then, through an encounter with a girl called Jun, he reconnects with humanity and feels once again the sensation of warm human touch.  But Jun deeply desires to meet directly with the real Satoru, intead of meeting him through the robot.  Satoru, who also wants to experience the world directly, activates the robot's sensation mode, exposing himself to mortal threat.  Jun risks all in an attempt to rescue him..."--VCD case.

With Nakamura Masatoshi, Hongo Kanata, Tabe Mikako.
