Worth its time!
I saw this movie during a Festival of Japanese Movies.Directed by Keitaro Sakon, the movie catches his audience like a storm.
A young woman with a very strong character pushes all strings of her psychological
ability in order to kick out of resignation the members of her family.
While pursuing her aims she hurts the feelings of others and of herself in unexpected way.
I liked very much the interpretation of the main lead (Morita Kokoro) but also the other
actors did a great job. There was no second when I felt bored or when I had to excuse the creators for their art or choices.
The final of the movie is open, it is fully unclear what should we expect to happen next.
Surprisingly, this open end does not feel unsatisfactory!
This movie is definitely worth the time invested in watching it!

Simple but engaging story
The movie is part of the JFF+ INDEPENDENT CINEMA 2023 line up.If you're interested in Japan or Japanese society / culture it's well worth a watch.
The movie follows the day-to-day lives of 4 siblings while they decide what to do with the shop they've just inherited from their parents.
The atmosphere of the movie feels very real and acting is very natural. What I enjoyed most, is that feeling that you're actually in Japan.
The production is also very good, and you don't get that "student film" vibe you generally get when watching independent movies. And at 1h22, you won't have time to get bored.
