ALL THE LONG NIGHTS

- Kinema Junpo

   -  “Lead’s chemistry delivers heartwarming drama” – Japan Times

Misa suffers from extreme premenstrual syndrome with erratic personality swings that see her lash out verbally at co-workers, ultimately costing her her job. Fast forward five years, and she is working for a small company that makes scientific instruments for children. Co-worker Takatoshi is silent, withdrawn, and prone to debilitating panic attacks. A relationship gradually emerges - not a romantic one but rather one based on empathy, kindness, and the desire to help the other with their struggles. Inspired by a touchingly poetic narration taped long ago by their boss’s deceased brother, Misa, and Takatoshi plan an annual planetarium show and together discover a new way of looking at the world that expands their minds and heals their hearts. Gentle, heartfelt, beautifully acted, and based on Maiko Seo’s novel.
