Director Akiko Ohku in Attendance

From the director of TJFF favourites Tremble All You Want and Hold Me Back, comes a magical blend of comedy, drama and romance. Konishi is a college student working part-time in a traditional bathhouse. He meets the elegant Sakurada who seems connected through a series of serendipitous coincidences. She casually mentions that she wants to enjoy every single day of her life and always thinks: "Today's sky is my favorite." Exactly the same words Konishi's beloved grandmother used to say before she passed away six months earlier... All is sunny until a shocking event takes place, altering Konishi and Sakurada's destinies forever. This delicate dance of vulnerability and connection will move you deeply. It was nominated for Best Film at the Tokyo International Film Festival and named One of the Best Asian films of the Year by Asian Movie Pulse.
