Aoi is a 17-year-old girl uncertain about her future, but one thing she’s sure of is her pride in being a junior to the legendary actor RYU Chishu, who graduated from her school a century ago.
Unfortunately, she’s the only member of her high school’s film club, which now faces closure as her graduation approaches. One summer afternoon, she discovers an old, tattered script in the clubroom, sparking her imagination—who could have written it? As her thoughts run wild, Her strained relationship with her father, a homeroom teacher whose stance remains unclear—friend or foe— and navigates her interactions with a group of eccentric classmates.
Director YANAGI Asuna, inspired by her own high school experiences, began developing this film project and also takes on the role of Aoi. Joining her in this deeply moving coming-of-age drama are Watanabe Hirobumi and a lineup of talented actors from Kumamoto, including KORA Kengo, NAKAJIMA Runa, OZAWA Mayu, and RYU Chishu’s grandson, RYU Kenzo.
