To cope with their antics, he starts petting an imaginary dog. Twenty-five years later, when Yamabuki’s grandmother, who had been holding the family together over the years, dies, the family reunites once again. Will their differences finally be resolved, or will old wounds be laid bare again? Director Yukihiro Morigaki takes a restrained approach to a chaotic dysfunctional family with his adaptation of Haruna Terachi’s novel. Showing that the destructive power of grief can consume people like a black hole, the film asks a compelling question: Is it acceptable to feed each other with lies if they can keep a family together?  SPECIAL GUEST: Intro and Q&A with director Yukihiro Morigaki   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/c482bd00-1070-11f1-b205-49d23285143a-rimg-w986-h740-dc1a1c17-gmir.jpg Yukihiro Morigaki, Directorhttps://vimeo.com/1165191513/5d69d166ca?fl=pl&fe=tiIMPORTANT TICKET INFORMATIONAll ticket sales are final and non-refundable, so please double-check your plans before purchasing.Programs and schedules are subject to change.Stay in the loop with the latest screening updates by subscribing to our weekly newsletter at asianpopupcinema.org/subscribe.Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
