Wataru's outwardly liberal views on marriage are severely tested when his daughter declares her love for a coworker and is adamant to live her own way, instead of agreeing to an arranged marriage. Outwitted by his female relatives, Hirayama stubbornly refuses to admit defeat.

VIBE

A gentle, character-focused film exploring the tender, often fraught, relationship between a father and daughter. It feels like a warm, familiar hug, tinged with the bittersweet ache of changing times and enduring love.
