A machine called the DC Mini has been stolen. A revolutionary tool for psychotherapists, it allows people to experience the dreams of others. Misused, it can wreak havoc as reality and dream merge. This Japanese anime is one part mystery, one part pschological drama, and about five parts surreal mindbender. Frog musicians, walking refrigerators, and mad giants abound as a crew of scientists, and one policeman, try not to get lost in unreality. Viewers may briefly get lost too, but the plot actually turns out to be not all that complicated, and almost beside the point. Like the title character, a pixie-like alterego of the therapist who invented her, the adventuresome moviegoer will have fun entering the strange world, both menacing and playful, created by director Satoshi Kon.
