This spunky indie revolves around an independent young woman who faces an alienating world with her own set of values and relationships. Makoto does not lead a “good” life. She hates her family, dates a married man, and moonlights as a phone sex operator. Though she is busy everyday with work and rituals, she has no idea where her meaningless life is heading. Then one day, a good man, as kind and grounded as they come, enters her life and tries to straighten things out.

About the director: SODE Yukiko, born in Nagano prefecture in 1983, began her studies in 2002, participating at the film workshop by Testuo SHINOHARA. Today she works as an independent filmmaker while working part-time.

Programmer Notes: A fine example of what is possible with DV when you have a strong script and something to say about the world around you.
