Masaaki Nakano

Risa and Takumi were born and raised in Kanazawa. Dating for a year and a half. At the age of 30, the two people around them started to talk about marriage, and they decided to live together. The two, who have become conscious of marriage, gradually notice the gap as they share time with each other. At that time, Risa's feelings changed as a result of an incident with her female friend, Mako, who was consulting with her about marriage.

Critics’ Picks closing film “The Brothers Kitaura” is, like our opening film, a dark comedy about death. In this case though, it’s not about killing yourself but killing your father. 40-year-old Sota Kitaura lives at home with his father. During a fight, Sota accidentally kills his father. Not knowing what to do, he calls his younger brother Akira for help and what ensues is perfect chaos with many references to Hitchcock’s funniest film “The Trouble with Harry” (1955). As if a dead father was not enough, Akira ends up also killing Uncle Daisuke.
