Written by the director himself, the story revolves around an “absent” hero: an astronaut lost in the emptiness of space. His absence is spoken about indirectly here, from planet Earth. He was the nation’s son, loved and admired by all. But he’s primarily always on the mind of his little sister Elsa, who’s the real “fully present” heroine in this story. Elsa has lived her life and her childhood by proxy, sustaining herself off the dreams and ambitions of her older brother and hero. He was her point of reference and her daily inspiration. While he floats around, somewhere up there, in the ether, Elsa also drifts, right here on Earth…

　　法国导演Pascal-Alex Vincent拍摄的纪录片《今敏：造梦机器》发布预告，细田守、押井守、罗德尼·罗斯曼、林原惠美、岩男润子、丸山正雄等人均有出场。这部纪录片原计划是为去年今敏逝世十周年之际制作的，但因故没能如期上映。　　《造梦机器》是今敏未完成的遗作，讲述在遥远的未来，已经成为废墟的地球上荒无人烟，女孩丽丽可和机器人罗宾向“电力之国”进发的冒险之旅。该作的核心主题，是人的可能性：“就算现在不明白自己活着的意义，只要活下去就会生出意义和目的来。”
