It’s almost 11 pm and WHAM! It hits you: An insidious, appalling and almost irresistible craving for a late night snack. Late-night snacks tend to be hidden snacks, stolen morsels — the kind of stealth feasts that leave one steeped in shameful self-loathing and neurotic denial. “I'm just having a little bedtime snack,” we say to ourselves. Be warned; this edgy collection of animated shorts is for those late-nighters looking to satisfy a hungry craving.

In a future ruled by an unwavering dedication to good health and societal harmony, three high school girls, led by the defiant Miach Mihie, attempt suicide as the ultimate act of rebellion. One of the girls, Tuan Kirie, survives but can’t shake the hatred she has for the perfect world she lives in.
Thirteen years later, in an effort to escape the oppressive Utopia, she takes a job that sends her to the front lines of an active warzone. But when a terrorist group with a familiar message attacks Japan, Tuan suspects her supposedly dead friend Miach must be involved somehow. Desperate for answers, Tuan returns home hoping to find Miach and help her save the world from the suffocating monotony of peace.

“Strained metaphysics dovetail with urban and architectural nostalgia in the exquisitely realized, minutely detailed Japanese anime Tekkonkinkreet.” Variety
