Kaerimichi ~ kisu no kioku ~ poster
NR

Yū, a young musician trying to find his voice through guitar and online performances, lives a quiet, uncertain life shaped by creative ambition and emotional restlessness. His routine shifts when Mikio, an older man who records everyday life on his smartphone, enters his world. What begins as a tentative connection gradually deepens as they start living together, sharing small domestic moments that blur the lines between documentation and intimacy. As their bond grows, a single kiss becomes a defining memory—tender, unresolved, and quietly transformative. The film reflects on how love lingers through fragments of memory and how “the way home” is not always a place, but a feeling tied to someone who once changed you. Intimate and introspective, it explores connection, age difference, and the fragile imprint of first love.

Tandem poster
4.5

The story of two men, one middle aged one mid twenties, who make friends and exchange cigarettes and stories of their sex lives, unaware they have unwittingly exchanged partners. The story, told in flashbacks, as the two men travel through the night on a motorcycle, is loaded with highly charged eroticism. Sex and violence are juxtaposed against the drabness of the men's everyday lives, effectively blurring the line between what is real and what is fantasy. Founded on the well-known myth of furtive sexual gropers on the rush-hour Tokyo commuter trains, Tandem is a low-key masterpiece of Japanese Pink Cinema.
