Yamasaki Juichiro : 2011
Hikari no oto
The Kariya family has run their dairy farm for generations in the mountains, now carved into pieces by an expressway. Their eldest son, Yusuke, had dreams of becoming a musician in Tokyo, but has been called back to the farm by an injury to his father. But his dreams of making music have not faded, and uneasy thoughts about the future with his girlfriend Yoko are making him question whether he can handle life as a dairy farmer. Yoko and her former husband Natsuo had a young son, Ryota, before Natsuo was killed in an accident. Natsuo's mother wants Ryota to carry on the family name. Before his death, Natsuo wanted to be a dairy farmer as well. He often helped Yusuke's uncle Yoshiyuki on his farm. This tangled net of relationships and obligations has left Yusuke feeling trapped. The Kariya family has a tradition of watching the first sunrise of the New Year together. This time, Yusuke's sister Haruko is bringing her boyfriend back to meet the family. It seems like just another ordinary New Year's holiday until a fire breaks out on Yoshiyuki's farm. And something is changing in Yusuke.
