Based on the original manga series by ๐๐ผ๐ต๐ป ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ, ๐๐๐ ๐พ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ๐จ ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ tells the story of ๐จ๐บ๐ถ๐ธ๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ผ, a 65-year-old widow who, after losing her husband, visits a movie theater for the first time in decades. There, she meets Kai, a young film student who notices that Umiko doesnโt just enjoy moviesโsheโs fascinated by how films move and affect people. Their encounter awakens something inside Umiko, a desire to create films herself.
Despite her age and lack of experience, Umiko enrolls in film school alongside much younger students. As she learns about directing, storytelling, and visual expression, she also navigates grief, self-doubt, generational differences, and the question of whether itโs ever โtoo lateโ to chase a dream.
The movie will be produced by ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐น๐น ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฒ, with animation provided by ๐๐๐ผ๐๐ผ ๐๐ป๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, and directed by ๐ง๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ ๐๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ (๐๐๐ค๐ก๐๐ฉ ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฃ, ๐พ๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐! ๐๐ช๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ช๐ข, ๐-๐๐ฃ!).
