Description:

In the heartwarming drama I Wish, two young brothers are separated following their parents' divorce. The older sibling, Koichi Koki Maeda, stays with his mother Nene Otsuka and grandparents in Kagoshima. Meanwhile, the younger brother, Ryonosuke Oshiro Maeda, lives with his father Joe Odagiri in Fukuoka. Hope arises when the Kyushu trainline connecting their two cities is near completion. A fascinating rumor spreads among the local children: when the bullet trains first run, one from the north and one from the south, the exact moment they cross paths releases a miraculous energy that grants wishes to anyone witnessing it. Driven by the hope of reuniting his family, Koichi hears the rumor and coordinates a secret plan with Ryonosuke to meet at the crossing point. This touching film beautifully captures childhood innocence, the strength of sibling bonds, and the ultimate wish for family reunification.
