Switchback
2022, English. Directed by Iwata Shunnosuke.
We follow a transformative time for 14-year-olds during a summer and winter in Obu city, Aichi Prefecture. Arham (Arham Butt) is a junior high school kid from the Brazilian community kicking around doing a whole lot of nothing. Classmates Chiemi (Chiemi Mukoyama), who comes from the same background, has a talent for art but is seeking to define what she wants in life while basketball player Suzuka (Suzuka Utsumi) is new in town and is seeking comradeship. The quartet is complete with Eiichiro (Ryoma Amioka), a loner.
