Plot
Family drama in the finest Ozu tradition, although 24-year
young debutant director KINOSHITA Yusuke gives the genre
a very personal, contemporary twist. Once she decides to
meet her endearing younger half sister Yu, the life of middle
school student Minako suddenly takes an unexpected turn. Within beautifully framed
shots, an enticing story unfolds about bickering parents, surrogate parenthood and
youthful human resilience.
