Lonely Castle in the Mirror

Tokyo teens unravel mysteries in mirror castle.

If you ever felt misunderstood or yearned for a place to escape, "Lonely Castle in the Mirror" might speak to you on a deeply personal level. It weaves a tale that is as much about finding connection and understanding with others as it is about personal transformation. Its blend of fantastical elements with the emotional landscapes of adolescence makes it compelling – a gentle reminder that sometimes, sharing our stories can be both our salvation and our sanctuary.

Description

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.
