ShikyuBorn into a wealthy family, 17-year-old Masato (Emoto Tasuku) has never been deprived of material comforts, but his distant relationship with his parents leaves him feeling empty. One day, Masato discovers that he was kidnapped by a woman when he was an infant. Curious about his past, he travels to Okinawa to find the woman, Aiko (Matsuyuki Yasuko), and ends up staying to work at her restaurant. As the two grow closer over time, an ambiguous relationship develops, not quite mother and son, not quite lovers.

Directed by Wakamatsu Setsurou (Whiteout), Shikyu no Kioku - Koko ni Anata ga Iru follows a young man’s confused search for love and family. Adapted from a Fujita Yoshinaga novel, the story is both touching and unsettling in its depiction of a relationship that belies conventional understanding. The film brings up questions about youth isolation, the state of the modern family, and the character of love.
