 Description
[Machine Translation] Nana Komatsu and Ryuhei Matsuda star in this double feature. A story about the souls of a man and woman with no memories or names who meet again on the island of Sado. This is the only Japanese film selected out of the nine films in the Biennale College Cinema 2018-2019 International Competition, a project of the Venice International Film Festival to support up-and-coming directors, and was also an official selection in the Competition section of the 36th Tokyo International Film Festival. Inspired by the tomb of "Mujin" on Sado Island, Tetsuya Tomina directs his second feature film from an original screenplay. Tomina's style of fantastical tales will finally be shown to the world in Japan. Double stars Nana Komatsu and Ryuhei Matsuda lead the cast into a strange and mysterious world set at the site of a gold mine on Sado Island, which has been registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. The cast also includes Shinobu Otake, Shizuka Ishibashi, Min Tanaka, and Yayako Uchida, Kabuki industry hopeful Chinosuke Kataoka, dancer/director Kaiji Moriyama, and Noh performer Manjiro Tatsumi, all of whom are gems of expression. The music for the play is composed by Yojiro Noda, frontman of the leading Japanese band RADWIMPS, weaving a tale of "wandering souls". -- A woman (Nana Komatsu) who can neither remember her name nor her past wakes up. The story takes place on Sado Island. Kii (Shinobu Otake), a cleaner at the mine, finds her collapsed in the facility and takes her home. The woman is named Midori by the girls who live with Kii. Kii gets permission from the director ( Min Tanaka ) and Midori gets a job as a cleaner. Midori is guided by the presence of a cat and meets Ao ( Ryuhei Matsuda ), a man who lives on the premises. He, too, has no memory of his past. As they speak more and more, they meet up at the temple gate and spend time together, as if guided by something. One day, Midori encounters Murasaki ( Shizuka Ishibashi ), who seems to be very close to Ao, and she is disturbed.
