A cosmic energy force known as “Taisu” breathes life into a forgotten toy hidden within an underwater crystal, giving birth to Aqila—a girl who dances through the waves. One day, Aqila rescues a human girl who has fallen into the sea. The two lonely souls form an instant bond, playing together until sunset and promising to meet again at dawn.
But their reunion is shattered by the outbreak of war, turning the serene sea black. Determined to find her friend, Aqila ventures ashore only to find devastation. As flames engulf her, she transforms back into cosmic energy. Driven by longing, she leaps through time, witnessing the relentless cruelty of war while learning the weight of memory and the price of love.
“Edge of Time” is a hauntingly beautiful tale of friendship, loss, and the enduring power of hope in a world torn apart by conflict. Directed by Li Wei, Weng Ming, Shinichiro Watanabe, and Shuhei Morita, this animation brings together four master animators from China and Japan. The film weaves together cutting-edge computer-generated imagery with traditional hand-drawn animation, creating a richly layered visual experience that resonates with audiences.
