117 min
Lingua: Giapponese
Regia: Yokohama Satoko
[ENG] By turns charmingly awkward and annoying vacuous, rebellious teenager Ito lives with her father and her grandmother, who plays Japanese folk instrument the shamisen. Ito works in a maid café where she swaps corny jokes with the inoffensive oddball clientele. Why? To get away from home, where they want her to follow in the footsteps of a mother she misses but barely remembers. A vibrant, intimate film that follows its quiet but simmering protagonist through all her silences and struggles.
