Moonlight Serenade

In this poignant drama, a journalist grappling with life after Japan's occupation recalls a haunting childhood experience that still resonates years later: a boat trip he took as a boy to bury his brother's ashes, amidst a backdrop of family conflict and the painful legacy of war. Set against the stark contrast between 1940s post-war Japan and the Westernizing influences of the 1990s, Moonlight Serenade is a deeply affecting exploration of trauma, identity, and the lasting impact of childhood memories.
