Faraway Family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u5f7c\u65b9\u306e\u5bb6\u65cf<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

World Premiere<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every house has a front door and behind every door is a family drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For main protagonist Kanata, he and his mother have relocated from Fukushima to a new area, sans the father who they lost during an earthquake when he was a child. As he is wont to do, he pushes people away, uncertain of how to talk about his old man until he meets Riku, the son of his much-admired homeroom teacher. Gradually won over by Riku\u2019s brightness, Kanata finally begins to open up and discovers another boy living in the shadow of his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faraway Family<\/em> is a story about trauma and its inheritance, all wrapped in a 3\/11 storyline that ably links dramas from Kanata\u2019s past and present to show how the ideal of a \u201cfamily\u201d is often out of reach and we can never really know what is going on in a person\u2019s life until they let us in.
