Another World

Koh makes high-grade charcoal in a business inherited from his father.  He resents his work, fails to pay enough attention to his wife, Hatsuno, and struggles to connect with his bullied son, Akira. When Eisuke, a boyhood friend and member of the self-defence forces returns home struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, their reunion forces Koh to re-evaluate his life and relationship with his family.

An intimate, probing and poignant drama that won the Audience Choice Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Screening preceded by Fuyuko Mochizuki‘s short BOZE.
