This is an online distribution of the prologue of the movie, illustrating the first day of the entire story.
A world, forever beyond your expectations.
In a dark, cramped, underground world of endless tunnels and shafts, people wear protective suits and live out their modest yet happy lives. The princess of the underground community, Patema, goes out exploring as always, inspired by her curiosity of the unknown depths of the world.
Her favorite spot is the "danger zone", an area forbidden by the "rule" of the community. Despite being frequently chastised by her caretaker Jii, she cannot hold back her curiosity for the reason behind the rule, because no one would tell her what the "danger" was. When she approaches the hidden "secret", the story begins.

Where it came from
Patema Inverted: Beginning of the Day was released in 2012 as a prologue series of web episodes to promote the feature film Patema Inverted. Produced by Asmik Ace and directed by Yasuhiro Yoshiura, the project was designed to introduce viewers to the gravity-defying world of Aiga and S, establishing the unique visual language of 'inverted' perspectives that would define the full-length movie released a year later.
The animation and character design are central to Yoshiura's signature style, which emphasizes spatial disorientation and atmospheric storytelling. Upon release, the shorts were received as an inventive expansion of the narrative universe, praised for their technical ambition and ability to convey complex physics-based themes within the constraints of a short-form digital format.
