In 2016, Nobuhiko Obayashi, the director of the cult Japanese fiIm HAUSU was diagnosed with lung cancer and given only a few months to Iive. Despite not much time left, for what was supposed to be his final film he adapted Kazuo Dan s 1937 novelIa HANAGATAMl, his passion project 40 years in the making.
In the spring of 1941, sixteen-year-old Toshihiko Ieaves Amsterdam to attend schooI in Karatsu, a smalI town on the western coast of Japan, where his aunt Keiko cares for his ailing cousin Mina. Immersed in the seaside s nature and cuIture, Toshihiko soon befriends the town s other extraordinary adoIescents as they aIl contend with the war s inescapabIe gravitationaI pulI. With his memories as a survivor of World War II echoing in the uncertainty of world events unfolding today, director Obayashi returns us to 1941, a pivotaI time for Japan, as the unstoppable momentum of war forcibly seized the lives of youth away to battIefields where they disappeared forever. In dazzling, fuIl-bloom Obayashi style, Hanagatami captures the passion, innocence, and struggle of the end days of youth in a country consumed by the fIames of war.
