Strange Sally Diamond

サリー・ダイヤモンドの数奇な人生 / 原タイトル



町外れで父と孤立して暮らす“変わり者”サリーは6歳までの記憶がない。ある日父が病気で亡くなり、言いつけどおりに家の裏の焼却炉で遺体を焼いたところ、警察が駆けつけ大騒ぎになってしまう(何かまずかったようだ)。マスコミが殺到するなか、赤い帽子を被って葬儀を終えたサリーは父が遺した手紙を開く。そこには人とかかわるようにという願いとともに、ある凄惨な事件の記録が記されていた―。

Sally, an "eccentric" girl who lives alone with her father on the outskirts of town, has no memory of her life before the age of six. One day, her father dies of illness, and when she burns his body in the incinerator behind the house as he had told her to do, the police arrive and all hell breaks loose (something must have gone wrong). The police rush to the scene (something went wrong). Amidst a flood of media, Sally, wearing a red hat, opens a letter her father left her after the funeral service. It contains a record of a horrific incident, along with a wish for her to get involved with other people.
