Yonna in the Solitary Fortress

Yonna in the Solitary Fortress is a Japanese short film from visionary writer-director-animator Kengo Takeuchi about a young woman with powerful magical abilities who has to hide away with her protective brother in a giant, empty fortress, where the government officials that want to exploit her powers can't reach them. Yonna and Stan have known from a very young age that Yonna was capable of things most kids couldn't dream of. They chose to hole up in self-exile, away from the city and its corrupt forces who might seek to use Yonna for evil purposes. However, when their solitude is infiltrated by two men with ulterior motives, Stan and Yonna's devotion to their lifestyle is put to the ultimate test. Kengo Takeuchi brings you into his world with an incredibly warm and soft three-dimensional animation style. Yonna in the Solitary Fortress is a triumph of animation and storytelling from one of Japan's modern masters. MORE
