The events of the film unfold in a small village where Kawase grew up. Family head Tahara Kozo, who lives a modest life with his mother Sachiko, wife Yasuyo, his nephew Eisuke and darling daughter Michiru, takes an intensive interest in the construction of a tunnel in the area. Fifteen years later the Tahara family is poor and Eisuke maintains it: he works at an inn outside the village. One day Kozo leaves the house with his 8mm camera and disappears into the tunnel on his own. (Odessa International Film Festival)

Slow, really slow, quiet, like when it's brutally hot but you have no shade to hide in. It's a rather depressing film, full of hints and unspoken words and emotions. You have to realize that it's set during an economic crisis, and therefore money is scarce – both to build bigger jobs and to pay workers, so it's hard to find work. Not to mention in the middle of nowhere with no train service. It's a difficult situation, everyone is silent about the burdens they carry, the feelings they feel. It is left to the viewer to put together the pieces of the picture. It's a pity that I wasn't in the mood for a film like this, otherwise I would certainly have given it a higher rating. I found it annoying at times with its slowness... A strong 3 stars.
