In THE WARPED FOREST most people like to lick kittka fruits and are somehow dependent on pocos. Some of them even dare to manipulate their dreams. With a brillant sense for humour and eroticism, atmosphere and timing, Shunichiro MIKI unfolds a collage of trash elements, creating a deeply touching and nuanced analogy about the pursuit of happiness.
