Kuro quits her job at a bakery. Eito, a photographer, breaks up with his girlfriend. A theater director, Go, is in trouble with his actress girlfriend. These three people with no common ground meet by coincidence, leave Tokyo and start lives together at an abandoned seaside hotel...
With minimum dialogue and BGM only from radio and live performance, "KURO" is a mature teen ensemble drama, with scenes shot in long takes to capture the emotional distance between the characters. The debut feature by Daisuke Shimote, who has done research on the works of Yasujiro Ozu.
