Closed Note

Kae Horii moves into a new flat in Kyoto. While putting her things away she notices something. Behind a plain mirror on the wall there is a hidden compartment. Inside the compartment sits a notebook. The notebook is a diary that belonged to the previous tenant. Kae begins to read it that evening. The person who wrote it is called Ibuki Mano. Ibuki is a young woman. She is about to begin her first year as a primary school teacher. Ibuki has feelings for a man called Takashi. Whether Takashi feels the same is not clear. The account runs the lives of the two women side by side. Erika Sawajiri and Yūsuke Iseya take the leads in Isao Yukisada’s Japanese film of 2007, which runs a hundred and thirty eight minutes.
