The Place of Shells

At a train station in Germany, a Japanese student meets an old friend. Nomiya died a decade earlier in the Tōhoku tsunami, but he has suddenly returned.

The reunited friends share a past that's a world away from the tranquility of Göttingen. Yet Nomiya's arrival destabilises something in the city: mysterious guests appear, eerie discoveries are made in the forest and, as the past becomes increasingly vivid, the threads of time threaten to unravel.
