Description:

"Iki wo Hisomete" captures an intimate glimpse into daily life along the Tama River during the pivotal Spring of 2020. Where the water defines the border between Tokyo and Kanagawa, flowing into Tokyo Bay under an expansive sky, a diverse array of people pursue their routines amidst the burgeoning Corona disaster. Sports lovers maintain their fitness, students rehearse singing by the riverside's rich nature, and cyclists freely come and go. This film tenderly observes these individuals navigating an uncertain world. It explores how, even as society collectively holds its breath, people find ways to connect, sustain their passions, and adapt to new realities. The narrative beautifully illustrates the quiet resilience and enduring spirit of a community whose everyday lives unfold along this vital waterway during an unprecedented global challenge.
