A documentary about her search for the father who abandoned her.
Sinekatalog’s take
Naomi Kawase's intimate documentary follows her search for the father who abandoned her and her relationship with her great-aunt. Raw, personal and tender, it is a moving debut that set the tone for her later work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
