Synopsis
A little, foggy village in Japan’s coast named Kurozu-cho is cursed. Teenager Kirie Goshima’s reclusive lover Shuichi Saito claims that their village is not haunted by a person or creature but rather by a pattern called uzumaki, the spiral, which is the mesmerising hidden shape of the universe. Smaller manifestations of it may be seen in ferns, seashells, whirlpools in the water, and whirlwinds in the air. And in significant ways: the spiral scars on people’s bodies, the father of Shuichi’s irrational obsessions, and the voice from your cochlea. The people of Kurouzu-cho are drawn deeper and deeper into the lunacy as it spreads, as though into a whirlpool from which there is no escape.
