Life is always being just a little late
At the end of a summer, Ryota Yokoyama visits his parents with his wife and his step son. As Ryota had always been compared with his high-flying elder brother who died 15 years ago, he feels resentment towards his father and reluctant to spend a night at the family home. The house is full again. The family experience nostalgia, humour, sadness and tension as memories are shared and ceremonies performed.
Presented by Consulate-General of Japan in Auckland, The Japan Foundation and The University of Waikato.
