Four Japanese women: the first reads cards for a colleague who would like to reconnect with a teenage love; the second, barely an adult, is courted by older men but does not dare confess her feelings to the young man who works with her; the third follows in her father's footsteps and meets a man who serves as her guide; the fourth sees the return of a long-lost lover. As in Haruharasan's Recorder (Grand Prix of the FID International Competition 2021), emotion emerges from the rhythms of everyday life and surfaces from the unspoken. In this previous masterpiece by Kyoshi Sugita, fleeting rhymes, situations, first names, or echoing settings weave an emotional web of missed opportunities and feelings that are misunderstood or finally revealed.
