All the Long Nights

Misa is a rather quiet person, unless her severe pre-mental syndrome gets the better of her once again and she has one of her 'moments', overwhelmed by all kinds of wild feelings. Takatoshi, on the other hand, is plagued by symptoms of an anxiety disorder. The psychotropic drugs he takes are only of limited help. The two meet in a small company that sells microscope adventure worlds and miniature planetariums for children. The boss of the company is also confronted with emotional challenges, which he tries to work through in a self-help group for people in mourning. It is an incredibly tender film that Miyake Sho has developed based on the novel of the same name by Seo Maiko, carefully photographed (camera: Tsukinaga Yuta) and accompanied by delicate sounds from DJ Hi' Spec's workshop. A postmodern fairy tale that is about nothing less than the search for solidarity and loving togetherness. 119 minutes long. Lastingly enchanting and totally indispensable.
