Love Potion
ラブポーション
世界初上映 World Premiere
Miku is about to commit suicide by throwing herself from the roof of the school she attends but she is rescued by a couple, Hana and Runa, and the three become friends. Miku reveals her family problem only to Hana, leaving Runa unsettled by their intimacy. Meanwhile, a rumor of a “love potion” circulates. The rumour suggests that the love potion would make a person pledge eternal love, but it also has side effects if love isn’t shared between people.

Writer/director YAMADA Kaho’s story harkens back to IKUHARA Kunihiko’s works as it uses a mix of magic, melodrama, and anime-inspired aesthetics in drab reality to depict the quietly ferocious and sometimes transient nature of love.
