ISLAND OF NO MEMORIES // Kaori Ito (Fr/Ja)

Alongside this world there´s another. There is the place where you can cross. This other world is called Isidora, and it´s as big as ours, and in many ways it´s exactly the same. The same grass grows in the same dirt. The same birds fly in the same sky. Even the people look the same. But a major difference is that in Isidora no one can remember anything. Nobody has a name, or a house, or a family. Or you could say that everyone has the same name and the same house and the same family, a single word and a single place and a single name called Isidora. At first it might sound scary, but if you don´t remember anything, then you don´t have anything to be scared about. And, anyway, in Isidora you always have whatever it is you need. It is the island of no memories.
