Remembering Every Night follows three women in one spring day in Tama, a satellite city of Tokyo. Chizu, forty-four, receives a postcard from an old friend inviting her to come visit as she has moved to the neighborhood. Unemployed after quitting her job at a kimono shop, Chizu visits a job center. She suddenly realizes it is her birthday and sets out to find her old friend’s house. Sanae, thirty-three, works as a gas meter reader and stumbles upon an elderly man with dementia who has gone missing. Natsu, twenty-two, on her friend’s death anniversary, visits the friend’s mother to deliver a roll of film she left behind. What the three women have in common is that they are all carrying deep pain in their hearts. In their own ways, they deal with their grief and move on with their lives. Instead of screaming or getting angry because they are hurt, they go out of their way to find a friend, help a lost old man, or simply to dance. The gentle sadness and strong will to live quietly seeps in without the audience realizing it. This is the second feature by Kiyohara Yui, who made her debut with Our House (2017). (NAM Dong-chul)
