Suzaku

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)
