A Life Turned Upside Down: My Dad's an Alcoholic
Saki watches her father morph into a monster through alcoholism while her mother seeks refuge in a new religion. The household fractures under the weight of unspoken pain and isolation. Navigating her teenage years, she becomes both witness and casualty of her family's collapse, straining to envision a future beyond the wreckage of her parents' failures. Her days balance school routines with returns to an apartment where silence shatters into drunken outbursts, and her mother's faith offers distance rather than salvation.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film rejects melodramatic crescendos in favor of a quiet, nearly documentary observation. The camera doesn't judge but witnesses—tracking how pain seeps from one generation to the next.
What lingers after viewing is the sticky, unresolved residue of familial trauma. The story offers no clean wounds, only the quiet burden of carrying them forward. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Kenji Katagiri

The dim apartment light, the scent of liquor, a bottle clinking against the floor.
