Distance

On the third anniversary of a cult's failed chemical attack on Tokyo and their subsequent mass suicide, family members of those affected gather at the cult's former base on the shores of a lake to observe the anniversary of their loved ones' deaths. Arata Iura plays Atsushi Mizuhara, a flower shop worker, who is questioned by Sakata, played by Tadanobu Asano, a surviving member of the cult. As they reminisce about the past, Sakata reveals a close relationship with Atsushi's sister, Yûko, and helps Atsushi confront his own grief. The film ends with Atsushi dropping flowers at the lake, symbolically leaving his past behind as a large conflagration burns.
