Starring Tomoko Tabata, Junko Sakurada, Kiichi Nakai
When her parents split and her father (Kiichi Nakai) moves out of their family home, Renko (Tomoko Tabata), a bright and energetic sixth-grade girl, is left alone with her mother, Nazuna (Junko Sakurada), in Kyoto. As Nazuna sets out new rules for their life together, Renko makes plans of her own, and sees to it that any changes happening in her family happen on her terms. Filled with indelible images, this beloved coming-of-age film from Shinji Somai is a poignant family drama that transcends the tropes of divorce stories to bring us an emotionally layered portrait of a complex teenage girl who encounters the unknown and refuses to succumb to it.
