This haunting tale of loneliness follows Chihiro (Shota Sometani) who, overwhelmed with grief after his father’s death, channels his emotions into dance. Driven by a lyrical, flowing sense of rhythm, movement and tactile intimacy, Hamaguchi’s evocative drama provides a fascinating angle on screen performance. With Hoshi Ishida and renowned choreographer Osamu Jareo.
