Necessary and Unnecessary
2021, Japanese. Directed by Tomoichiro Setsuda.
The world is made of essentials and non-essentials. However, the more essential a thing is, the more we can’t have it. Instead, we carry unnecessary burdens, just like Satomi. At such a time, her brother comes back as a sister.
