Description
[Machine Translation] Can AI reproduce the human mind? Yuya Ishii, one of the most gifted directors in the world of Japanese cinema, sharply depicts the merits and demerits of our ever-advancing digital society. The film depicts a young man lost in an evolving age, as he tries to learn the "true feelings" of his mother who wished to die a "free death" in the near future, which is connected to the present. Based on the masterpiece full-length novel "Honshin" by Keiichiro Hirano, the author of "A Certain Man," which was also made into a film. The film stars Sousuke Ikematsu, an actor who has been expanding his field of activity in recent years. Sakuya Ishikawa, a young man who has been left behind by the times, is portrayed in an unstable performance that dares to be ungrounded. Sakuya's mother, Akiko, is played by Yuko Tanaka, an actor who has appeared in many classic films, and she takes on the unknown dual role of a living person and a VF (virtual figure), displaying an overwhelming presence. Ayaka Miyoshi, who has grown remarkably as an actor, plays Miyoshi, a key person who knows Akiko's true face and a mysterious woman with scars from her past. In addition, an all-star cast of leading Japanese filmmakers in both name and reality, including Koji Mizukami, Taiga Nakano, Min Tanaka, Tsuyoshi Ayano, and Satoshi Tsumabuki, have assembled. The boundary between the real and virtual worlds has collapsed, and convenience continues to evolve at an extraordinary rate. The mother, Akiko (Yuko Tanaka), who passed away suddenly after saying, "I have something important to tell you," had actually chosen to die a "free death. Why did my mother, who seemed so happy, want to die by herself? Sakuya (Sousuke Ikematsu), who desperately wants to know his mother's true feelings, ventures into the unknown realm of technology. VF (Virtual Figure) is a technology that creates a "human being" in a virtual space by collecting personal data from the mother's life into an AI. The developer, Mr. Nozaki (Satoshi Tsumabuki), says, "We can make your mother even better than the real thing," but he contacts Miyoshi (Ayaka Miyoshi), a woman who used to be her mother's best friend, to collect data for the VF production. Sakuya is able to see his mother whenever he puts on the VF goggles, and he begins to get back to his ordinary life with Miyoshi, with whom he has come to live by chance.
