NIPPON CINEMA
Sawako Decides
(Kawa no soko kara konnichi wa)
by Yuya ISHII
Down on her luck, Sawako is living in Tokyo now for the 5th year, working on her 5th job and her 5th relationship doesn’t look too promising. As her father falls ill, she has to take over the family’s mussel farming business and confront her past. With deadpan humor and inspiring songs, Yuya ISHII not only creates great comedy, but presents his solution for the economy crisis, too.
