No Regrets for Our Youth

After her anti-fascist professor father is dismissed, Yukie navigates love, political repression, and wartime upheaval—ultimately forging her own path in pre- and post-WWII Japan.
VIBE
A tender, earnest look at youthful idealism clashing with political reality. It feels like a wistful memory, a quiet contemplation of love and sacrifice amidst societal upheaval. The film is a gentle, thoughtful exploration of growing up and standing for your beliefs.
