Description
In Kantan, a young man drifting about and seeking a meaning to life takes shelter from a storm in a cottage where he finds a magic pillow. Falling asleep he dreams that he is an emperor in a magnificent palace. But as the dream turns to a nightmare, days and nights and the seasons of the year seem to go by faster and faster until the young man, horrified, rushes back to his bed to wake up. He has now learned the futility of ambition: life is here and now. He goes back home.
