Nagi (Nagiko Tsuji) works as a contract employee in Osaka. She takes her first paid holiday but the day before, she is dumped by her lover after they’ve been going out for one year. Suddenly she has no plans so she goes to live shows and participates in gateball. Nagi’s holiday passes as she reunites with someone she used to love and has a big fight.
This is a feature film collaboration, which has been in the works since 2020, between director Teppei Isobe (Cornflakes and F is for the Future) and actress-director Nagiko Tsuji (I Am Jam. Pizza no Wakusei Kiki Ippatsu!). It follows Nagi’s journey as an adult member of society, continuing from the short film The Melancholy of Nagi High School Student Edition, which won awards at the Fukuoka Independent Film Festival in 2020, and the mini drama series The Melancholy of Nagi College Student Edition,...

Mahiro and Chisato are two high school graduates who, like every other girl their age, are on the lookout of securing and surviving at a part-time job. Unlike most girls their age though, they’re both assassins for hire, working as a team for an organisation that insists that they share an apartment with each other till they turn twenty. The two work well as a duo on assignments but living together is a different game altogether, as Mahiro is a self-confessed sociopath whereas Chisato is a bubbly, cheery extrovert. While the two try to work their differences out and make their living situation work,...

First features are becoming more and more accomplished and sophisticated, due to generous fundings, nurturing institutions, excellent film academies and the mentoring of big stars. To mention only few, we were recently blessed by ”Still Human”, “The Third Wife”, and “House of Hummingbird”.
However, it is very refreshing to come across a film that it’s genuinely young at heart, not just because is directed by a young woman of 25 (and looking 16), but because it is rough around the edges, and at the same time raw, impulsive, unapologetic, and daring. With her “Orphan’s Blues”, Riho Kudo won the Grand Prize at the latest edition of the Pia Film Festival (Pff), a festival launched in 1977 in Tokyo and dedicated to nurture young, promising film directors.

The film focuses on Emma (Yukino Murakami) a lonely and energetic chain-smoking young woman who sells books...
