After divorcing, Rie has found happiness with her second husband Daisuke and formed a new family. But when Daisuke dies in a tragic accident, she discovers her new husband was not the man she thought he was. Rie calls on an attorney to help her find the truth about the identity of the man she loved. A quest that will open larger questions about the nature of identity itself, and what makes a person real at all. Adapted from a novel by Japanese writer Keiichiro Hirano, the film competed for the Horizon Award at the Venice Film Festival in 2022.
Speaker: Hiromi Miyagi-Lusthaus, curator of the Japanese Film Festival at Boston University, where she is Senior Lecturer in Japanese.
