In her second feature, Chie Hayakawa crafts a tender portrait of childhood grief. In 1980s suburban Tokyo eleven-year-old Fuki begins her summer break lonely and adrift. Her terminally ill father is hospitalized and her mother, consumed by his diagnosis, hasn’t had time for her. Fuki responds to the situation not with tears but with placid curiosity about the prospect of death. As the summer passes, Fuki encounters a string of lonely, imperfect adults, all of whom nudge her closer to an emotional truth she isn't quite ready to name yet. (Japan, 2026, 116 mins, Japanese | Dir. Chie Hayakawa)
