How a Life is Counted

How much time in life is occupied with laughing, crying and kissing? From
Koyama Kundo, screen writer of the Academy Award winning film
“Departures,” is the imaginative story of a girl, just like any other,
whose every action in life is reduced to a quantifiable measurement. How
many months of her life will be spent dreaming? And how many lies must she
tell? Illustrations by renowned artist Serge Bloch enhance the irreverent
depiction of a little girl whose life (literally) counts.
