Napping Princess

Set in Japan in the year 2020, just days before the much-anticipated Tokyo Olympics, "Napping Princess" follows the story of Kokone, a diligent schoolgirl caught between the pressures of her final exams and the secrets of her family's past. Living in a quiet small town with her widowed father, who is a gifted yet mysterious mechanic, Kokone grapples with an unusual habit: she frequently falls asleep at unpredictable moments and locations. These episodes are not mere naps but gateways into a vivid dream world that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality.

Within this dream realm, Kokone encounters a mesmerizing world populated by extraordinary motorized machines engaged in epic battles against dark magic. This fantastical environment, though surreal, mirrors aspects of her real life and challenges her perception of her own history. As she journeys deeper into this alternate universe, Kokone begins to uncover hidden truths about her family, her abilities, and the legacy her father has kept shrouded in mystery.

"Napping Princess" masterfully intertwines themes of adventure, self-discovery, and the bonds of family set against the backdrop of modern Japan. Through Kokone's dreams and waking life, the film explores the power of imagination and the courage it takes to face one's past. The narrative builds toward an emotional revelation that ties Kokone's identity to both the mechanical wonders in her father's workshop and the magical battles in her dreams, ultimately revealing the keys to her true origins.
