Description
[Machine Translation] I want to tell you that someday when we meet. I want to tell you that life can start shining at any time. Koichi Iwashiro, who until now had a strong image of being wild and ageless, gives a passionate performance as the protagonist who lives a life lost in ordinary, small things in his first film starring a leading man in 26 years. The film is a warm human anthem with a talented cast that includes Miyazaki Yoshiko as the loving wife suffering from dementia who dies without Kenji, Tayama Ryosei as Hashimoto, a sociable friend from old age who pulls Kenji into various places, and Takatsuki Ayara as Kari, an instructor at the swimming school Kenji and his friends attend. Directed and written by Shinji Kuma. He has been highly acclaimed for his directing skills in the CoFesta Japan International Festival PAO film "Fa no Tofu", the Netflix original drama "Hana" (episodes 7 and 8), the film "My Butler Says", and the popular TV drama "Wakako Sake". In today's age of 100-year life expectancy, life after retirement and child-rearing has become much longer than in the past.
