YASHIBA Toshihiro (矢柴俊博) - Synopsis
24-year-old Nozomi quit her job at an ad agency and now works part-time at a convenience store. Her ordinary days are enlivened by funny and kind co-workers but her heart is troubled because she cannot tell her parents about her situation and she is haunted by her failure to meet the excessive demands at her previous workplace. One day, her former junior high school classmate Kanako appears and Nozomi begins to articulate how she feels.
The Great Resignation. Quiet Quitting. These buzzwords signal how it has become common for workers to seek more satisfying employment or lessen the negatives of their current workplaces. Following her debut feature “Sayounara” (2018/ OAFF2019), ISHIBASHI Yuho puts a face on this phenomenon through quiet observance and sensitivity for her characters while drawing on real-world exploitation.
