Kotobuki (2013)

Other name: 寿, To Us

Description:

In the emotional drama Kotobuki, Sayo, a single girl who works and lives in Tokyo, returns to her hometown to celebrate her 30th birthday with her family. Instead of a warm welcome, she senses an unsettling tension and suspects that her parents' relationship is incredibly shaky. Feeling increasingly uncomfortable in her own childhood home, Sayo decides to escape the suffocating domestic atmosphere. She seeks solace by visiting her ex-boyfriend who still resides in the same town. While Sayo navigates her unresolved feelings with her past love, her parents are left alone to finally confront each other about their failing marriage. Kotobuki is a realistic and touching story that explores the complex dynamics of family, the pain of growing older, and the secrets we keep from those we love most.
