Alice to Therese no Maboroshi Koujou
Masamune, a third-year middle school student, lives in a town where all the exits have been sealed off due to a sudden explosion at a steel mill, causing time to stand still. Residents are forbidden from making any changes and spend their suffocating days in the hopes of returning to normalcy someday.
One day, Masamune's mysterious classmate Mutsumi guides him to the fifth furnace of the steel mill, where they encounter a girl who cannot speak and resembles a wild wolf. The meeting between the two girls and Masamune disrupts the balance of the world, and the unstoppable "impulse of love" from boys and girls tired of their daily lives begins to destroy the world.

Mari Okada's best film after Maquia film, and my main focus in my review is to analyze the characters in the story.
Maboroshi is a bittersweet victory.
Le sublime vertige de l'immobilité : Maboroshi
"What am I living for?"
Maboroshi: The most Mari Okada movie ever made, with all the good and bad that comes with it.
Maboroshi: Emotionally Loud, Narratively Empty
