Survivance

Accompanied by Sakuko, her niece, preparing its entry to university, Mikie is back in her hometown to carry out the translation of an Indonesian novel. The summer languor in the Japanese countryside is an opportunity for Mikie to reconnect with Ukichi, an ancient lover, manager of a clandestine love hotel and for Sakuko to approach the shy Takashi, a Fukushima refugee.
This summer studious ambition been gradually gives way to a emotional fantastic round where the delicacy and burlesque never quite mask the harshness of contemporary Japan.
