Shizukana seikatsu

Based on the 1995 novel by Itami's brother in law and Nobel Prize-winning author Kenzaburo Oe, this film adaptation centers on the exploits of Iiyo (Atsura Watabe), a mentally challenged, but musically gifted teen, and Maa (Hinako Saeki), the boy's artistic younger sister who is put in charge of caring for her sibling after their parents go to Australia. Loosely based on the real life experiences of Kenzaburo's Oe's handicapped son. (myac.asia)
