Opera in one Act, libretto by Michel van der Aa after Hirokazu Kore-Eda

What was the most defining moment in your life?
This is the question that stands at the heart of Michel van der Aas opera. Taking the film of the same name by Hirokazu Kore-Eda as its basis,the opera introduces us to people who are taken directly from their earthly existence into heaven. They may experience their most important memory once more in the form of a film and then take it with them into eternity.
