Spring in Aomori is dirty... In a snowy northern town, Noriko works as a dental technician. Her father, who had gone to Tokyo to work, brings back a woman younger than herself. Meanwhile, Noriko receives a wedding invitation from her high schoolmate, Chiemi. The two used to be best friends, but after an incident, they have been taking a break…
Seemingly small but incredibly big events for the two women resonate and swirl around them, and the film drifts to a mysterious climax. Yokohama’s brilliant debut work impresses viewers with her delicate descriptive skills and bursts of intense energy.
The film was produced as a graduation project for the Film School of Tokyo, and later screened at a number of domestic and international film festivals.
