KYOTO INTERNATIONAL FILM AND ART FESTIVAL 2020

Notes

The summer of 2011, after March 11. Reiko Endo (Yasuko Matsuyuki), a newspaper reporter from Amakusa, Kumamoto Prefecture, visits Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, like she was being led there. The reason for this was to take a look at Nagaoka, which was one of the first cities to accept victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake, from a reporter's perspective. Her heart is captured by a letter from a former lover, Kenichi Katayama (Masahiro Takashima), who lives in Yamakoshi. Above all, she experiences the prayers and wishes in the Nagaoka fireworks. Reiko, who is tasked with the job of reporting, meets a legendary fireworks artist and wandering painter Kiyoshi Yamashita, along with a mysterious girl on a unicycle, and she has a series of strange experiences that, when she realizes are intertwined with the history of Nagaoka, lead to the start of a miraculous festival in Nagaoka!
