The Munekata Sisters
Drama
Setsuko is in an unhappy marriage to Mimura, an unemployed, alcoholic engineer. She had always been in love with Hiroshi but both failed to propose when Hiroshi left for France a few years ago. But now he's back and Mariko tries to reunite them, although she too is secretly in love with Hiroshi.
VIBE
A quiet, contemplative drama exploring the unspoken desires and generational divides within a Japanese family. It feels like watching old photographs come to life, filled with lingering glances and the weight of unspoken words.
