KANON (花音) - Synopsis
YAMADA is 19 years old but instead of thinking of her bright future, she is deep in depression and has stopped going to college due to a lack of confidence. One day, she meets a woman who calls herself NOTANI while playing a game outside of a candy store. NOTANI is a capricious and headstrong woman who brands herself a wanderer and she takes a bewildered YAMADA under her wing resulting in the two living in YAMADA’s house. One day, the two become suspicious of a woman who spends a lot of time looking at elephants at the zoo, and decide to follow her…
We watch six months of the cohabitation of these two very different characters as they get wrapped up in oddball adventures, grim incidents, and soul searching that gets YAMADA to see that her normal life has something special about it. This film took the Audience Award in the Short Film Category at the 15th Fukui Film Festival.
