A lighthearted take on director Yasujiro Ozu’s perennial theme of the challenges of intergenerational relationships, Good Morning tells the story of two young boys who stop speaking in protest after their parents refuse to buy a television set.

Shot in stunning color and set in a suburb of Tokyo where housewives gossip about the neighbors’ new washing machine and unemployed husbands look for work as door-to-door salesmen, this charming comedy refashions Ozu’s own silent classic I Was Born, But . . . to gently satirize consumerism in postwar Japan.

In this film, a group of young adults spend a weekend together in silence at a Zen Buddhist monastery. They drink tea, clean, walk around and meditate together. The birds whistle just a little louder, the cutlery and plates sound like a radio play while eating, and in the wind you can find different kinds of noise. As time passes, you sink, along with them, deeper and deeper into that clear silence. 'You Are Already Here' takes you into a meditative experience in which you can ask yourself where you are going, and more importantly, where you are now.
