Laundry

Teru runs a laundry. He had an accident as a child. What it left him with has stayed. He takes in the world at his own pace. His days pass among the machines. People come and go all day. One day Mizue comes in. She is alone and keeps to herself. She carries injuries of her own. Hers are not the kind that can be seen. Something forms between the two of them. It comes on quietly and slowly. The film tells it at an unhurried pace. The story leans on small everyday details. Yosuke Kubozuka, Koyuki and Kenichiro Tanabe appear in the hundred and twenty six minute film, a Japanese production Junichi Mori finished in 2002.
