Memorizu (HKAFF)

Yuta comes to a country town in Kyushu to take care of his father-in-law Makoto, who is recovering from a fractured leg. While helping out with Makoto's old-fashioned photo studio, Yuta exchanges smartphone videos with his wife Yuki and daughter Hana in Tokyo. Between home-cooked meals, daily dog walks and quiet moments scrolling through old photos, the small details of daily life accumulate as a succession of recordings and memories, gently and vividly bringing to light the ongoing existence of their lives as a family.
