Mixed Modern / The Longing (part of SCREENSHOT: Asia)

Restaurant-owning couple Hiro and wife Sono employ ex-youth offenders to help their rehabilitation. Despite online hate for an incident with former employee, they persist and in the midst, they interview & hire 18-year-old Yuto, a young man seeking a new start while trying to reconcile with past abandonment by mother, sudden departure from father, and a new dancer who becomes his object of fascination. This screening is part of SCREENSHOT: Asia, co-presented by the Harris Theater and the University of Pittsburgh.
