A family drama depicting the life of nationally-renowned Japanese author MIYAZAWA Kenji, told from the perspective of his father.

A family drama depicting the short life of one of Japan’s most beloved writers, MIYAZAWA Kenji, who left behind many children’s stories and poems. The film is told from the perspective of Miyazawa’s father who loved his son dearly and continued to believe in his son’s talents. World-renowned actor YAKUSHO Koji plays Miyazawa’s father who is both serious and comical. SUDA Masaki, one of the best young actors in working today, brilliantly expresses Miyazawa’s emotional instability as well as his gentle side that writes stories for his sick younger sister. The performance by the two actors, who together represent contemporary Japanese cinema, is not to be missed.
