🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a delicate portrait of childhood agency being quietly eroded by a parent's projected dreams. It explores the toxic symbiosis of sacrifice and ambition through the son's silent compliance and growing alienation.

What lingers after viewing is a profound sense of melancholy for lost innocence and the unspoken contracts within family. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Yoshiho Fukuoka
