Risultati per "bambini" in Psicologico

Una mattina di fine estate, in un Giappone di un'era imprecisata, la direttrice dell'Istituto Gokuraku, Sada, e la sua assistente, Yuki, prelevano da una vecchia casa una bambina rimasta orfana: la piccola Sumiko. Presto si accorgono che Sumiko non intende parlare, mangiare, interagire con niente e nessuno; i suoi occhi sono persi in un punto indefinito davanti a sé, su qualcosa che sembra nulla. Anche Yuki, venticinque anni prima, è stata ospite dell'istituto: privata dei genitori, è stata sottoposta a un programma di accudimento materno artificiale.
