The screenplay is an adaption by Hideaki Anno and Ayako Fujitani of Fujitani’s novella Touhimu, which was inspired by an emotionally difficult time spent in Los Angeles during her work in her father’s (i.e. Steven Seagal’s) 1998 film, The Patriot. The film follows a young desillusioned Director returning to his hometown, a suburb of a larger Japanese city, and an eccentric young girl he meets, whose quirks include saying “tomorrow is my birthday” every day and wearing very unusual clothing. But as the days go by, it appears that the woman has little touch with reality and is constantly escaping into a fantasy world, while the Director himself is a former anime director who is seeking to do a “real film” and embrace reality. less
