Storyline

Suburban Tokyo, 1987. 11-year-old Fuki’s father, Keiji, is battling cancer, and in and out of hospital. Her mother, Utako, is constantly stressed out from caring for Keiji while holding down a full-time job. Left alone with her rich imagination, Fuki becomes fascinated by telepathy and falls ever deeper into her own fantasy world…

Acclaimed director Chie Hayakawa weaves an emotional and poignant coming-of-age story about resilience, the healing power of the imagination and a traumatized family struggling for connection.
