Kiraware Matsuko no isshô

Following a breakup with his girlfriend, Sho Kawajiri sinks into an existential crisis and hides himself at home, before his father, Norio, pays him a surprise visit. Sho is surprised to see an urn with the ashes of his aunt Matsuko, who he has never met. Sho is asked to help clean her old room, and while doing so, he gradually learns more about the life of his estranged aunt. Matsuko's early life was marked by struggle, particularly as her father's focus on her chronically ill sister, Kumi, created an imbalance in her needs. Matsuko's journey is a tragic one, filled with betrayal, abuse, and ultimately, a desperate attempt to escape her circumstances.
