Program Note
A new film directed by ZEZE Takahisa, who asks fundamental questions about doubts and trusts. Takeshi, who is treated as an odd one in his village, makes a living by mending used items and serves his mother. One day, an elementary school student, Aika, was kidnapped at a Y-shaped intersection in the middle of a rice field near the village. Aika’s friend Tsugumi is in a very painful and difficult position because she was with Aika only minutes before she was kidnapped. 12 years later, Tsugumi starts work after graduating from high school. One day she meets Takeshi at a village festival and sympathizes with his difficult situations. On the day the festival is held, a girl disappears at the same intersection and villagers suspect Takeshi. In despair, Takeshi returns to the village and sets fire to his house to block people’s access. A year later, Tsugumi, who lives in Tokyo, returns to her hometown to help prepare for the village festival and meets Jenjiro, a widower beekeeper living in an area where elderly residents live across the intersection. They plan to revitalize the village but fails, and as a result, Zenjillo is ostracized. Zenjillo’s growing sense of isolation eventually brings him to the end of a terrible crime. (Jay JEON)
