父母結婚60多年,依然非常恩愛。可是,母親近年患上認知障礙症,漸漸失去照顧自己的能力。年過95的父親唯有擔起打理家頭細務的責任。遠在東京的信友直子,放下電視台的導演工作,回到老家廣島吳市,用攝錄機記錄兩老掙扎的日常。為期三年的拍攝過程,導演除了發掘父母的另一面,同時亦為了報答父母,多年前在自己患癌期間,賦予的支持和鼓勵。以最直接的角度,記載人生的甜酸苦辣,不用煽情的手法,創出溫柔的催淚良方。
Veteran television director Nobutomo Naoko’s first theatrical documentary opened in just one cinema, but became a surprise hit after strong word-of-mouth propelled it to a nationwide Japan release. Nobutomo drew from several years’ worth of footage to assemble this personal chronicle about her parents, whose mutual love and resolve carried them through difficult times well into their nineties. Following the elderly couple’s daily routine, Nobutomo captures not only their support while she battled breast cancer, but also her mother’s slow deterioration due to dementia, and the toll it took on her father. Warm and illuminating, Nobutomo’s remarkable documentary conveys life’s beauty and sorrow with poignant, intimate and heartrending grace.
