(C3) [Hometown Lullaby]

Naoto, who has been wandering in a big city for a long time, always remembers that Takumi treated him kindly throughout his painful childhood. However, Takumi faded away from his life without a trace, which was very hard for Naoto to come to terms with.
Naoto returns to his hometown to look for Takumi. Standing in the place where these memories were made, his memory mingles with reality and everything seems to return to the beautiful old days.

Director

As time goes by, we lose some memories. We must learn how to leave behind the past we can't face, bad relationships or the feelings we can't let go of. For those of us wandering the world, like Naoto, we still have memories in the back of our minds which give us some moments of peace.

Recommendations from the NIFF Supporters

Everyone has a sweet and comforting memory lying in a corner of their heart. The director’s thoughts are transformed into a dramatic film the past, which we forget day by day, into a dramatic film. Dark and stoic images. Long, vividly depicting memories. The one cut seems to transform the stories of others into the memories of the audience themselves.
