“In her previous film Plan 75, director Chie Hayakawa imagined Japanese society in the near future. And with her new work, she turns to the past – to 1980s Tokyo, at the time of her father’s death. The director avoids cheap sentimentality: death here is not treated as a tragedy, but rather as a riddle that a young girl tries to solve. The title of this poetic film comes from a gift her father gave her – a reproduction of a Renoir painting. Perhaps this is where the film’s dominant, warm, shimmering light originates.” (Programme curator Karolis Žukas)
