Vancouver, BC

As a twenty-something that has moved away from family and everything I had known in my young life, in pursuit of something potentially greater (but the jury is still out on that one)… yeah this one was going to hit. Doubly so after having just returned from being home for the holidays. Being a fly on the wall, watching this family suddenly have to reconcile the distance that has grown between them... it's heartbreaking. That's my perspective on it, but the beauty of this is one is that you're going to take something different from it depending on what stage of life you're at. BRB, going to go eat a muffin my mom sent home with me from Christmas.

Watched at the Cinematheque as part of their Ozu 121 programming. Big shoutout for the encore screening!
