Nippon Visions   ½ 

With their father dying, three siblings reunite in their hometown for the first time in years. Each of them is dealing with personal issues, and soon, old, unresolved conflicts start to resurface. This captivating drama, shot in director Takeo KIKUCHI’s hometown, not only deals with personal tragedies of estranged family members, but also expresses the sense of stagnation found in many small towns.
