All Around Us

Saori, a young woman, drifts back to her hometown after years away, moving through its spaces like a ghost among familiar shadows. Her existence becomes a quiet study of return, measured in hesitant steps along unchanged streets and in conversations that hang in the air, unfinished. She observes the subtle shifts in her old world—the new facade on a shop, the grown children of neighbors—while confronting the stranger she has become to this place. The film charts her circular journey not through grand events, but through the accumulating weight of small, everyday moments and the silent questions they pose about belonging and change.
