Kore-eda Hirokazu : 2015
Our Little Sister
Three sisters, Sachi, Yoshino and Chika, live together in an old large house in the city of Kamakura. When their father – absent from the family home for the last 15 years – dies, they travel to the countryside for his funeral. There, they discover the existence of Suzu, a shy 13-year-old half-sister. Bonding quickly with the orphaned Suzu, they invite her to live with them. Suzu eagerly agrees, and a new life of joyful discovery begins for the four siblings. Based on the original graphic novel by Akimi Yoshida, the film chronicles four seasons of the sisters in their beautiful seaside home near Tokyo. By portraying the ripples of life with all the rituals and traditions of the family, the director lets the audience witness the quiet, yet turbulent, emotional turmoil of these sisters who learn to embrace the world and themselves. Kore-eda Hirokazu's feature premiered in competition at Festival de Cannes 2015.
