Trapped Balloon

New York Premiere

Written and directed by Hiroyuki Miyagawa.


With Masahiro Higashide, Toko Miura (Drive My Car), Miyoko Asada and Kaoru Kobayashi (Midnight Diner).

 

Rinko, who has been estranged from her ailing father since her mother died, decides to visit him on the island where he lives and ask his advice about an impending career decision. During her visit, she becomes suspicious of a reclusive young fisherman named Kenji, who lives in her father's neighborhood, and brings him freshly caught fish without explanation. What would usually be a set-up for a blossoming romance between the two young leads instead turns into something much more poignant under the hand of writer/director Miyagawa and his spectacular cast.

 

In Japanese, with subtitles.


Produced by Yuki Okuno. Edited by Manami Tsuya. Director of Photography: Kamei Yoshinori. A buzzCrow inc. production.
