synopsis

En

In this silent film set during a summer in Japan, four people discover how one book unites them. All four are fascinated by the novel 'N.P' by the somewhat mysterious Sarao Takase, who has since passed away. All feel a sense of connection to this autobiography, either due to their shared personal history with the author or one of the book's translators. The film N.P dissects the young characters' complex web of relationships and reflects on how a translation relates to the original, how fiction relates to reality, and the often incestuous nature of their interactions.
