ABOUT
Living alone in her small apartment in the outskirts of Limoges, a young French woman spends her days watching manga and videos of modern-day Japan on her computer, while obsessively listening to Puccini’s famous opera. This is the story of Cio-Cio San, but seen through the eyes of a neurotic young European woman.
