My Sunshine

Living on a remote, wintry island, a young boy with a stutter, Takuya (Keitatsu Koshiyama), develops a crush on a graceful figure-skater in training, Sakura (Kiara Takanashi). Clumsy and without the coordination required to excel in sport (he’s bad at both baseball and ice hockey), Takuya nevertheless takes up skating to impress her. He captures the attention of Sakura’s coach, Mr. Arakawa (Sôsuke Ikematsu), who begins mentoring him on the side. Arakawa pairs the two for an upcoming competition, but jealousy and Arakawa’s secret soon fractures the trio’s bond. Okuyama’s fluid camera and lighting dances with his characters, adding a tremendous amount of grace and warmth to this nuanced tale.
