Description
[Machine Translation] A granddaughter, who is about to get married and is a grandmother, lives in an institution with an injured leg. The granddaughter's wish to "walk down the aisle together" moves the grandmother, who has been shutting herself away in a facility, and the two of them go through a series of rehabilitation to achieve their goal. Master filmmaker Tetsuo Shinohara directs this adaptation of Naho Uemura's screenplay, which won the Grand Prize at the Film School of Tokyo's Plot Competition 2016. In an age when human relationships are becoming increasingly fragile, the film movingly depicts the bonds of family (grandparents, parents, and children) that transcend generations, as well as the joy of living in demand. Fumine, in her first leading role in a film since her debut in "Sambongi Agricultural High School, Equestrian Club" (2008), gives an expressive and lively performance as Natsumi, the always cheerful and pure granddaughter, and Mitsuko Kusabue, a famous actress representing Japan, plays Kiyo, the strong-minded grandmother who tries hard to meet her granddaughter's wishes. The film co-stars a cast of young and veteran actors, including Takahiro Miura as Natsumi's fiancee, Dori Sakurada as the physical therapist who provides rehabilitation treatment at the facility, and Shingo Tsurumi as Natsumi's kind father.
