Love and Goodbye and Hawaii

Up-and-coming director Shingo Matsumura's second feature film is a surprisingly pleasant romantic comedy. Rinko (Ayu Ayano) has been living with her ex-boyfriend Isamu (Kentaro Tamura), a graduate student, for three years. They can't make up their minds, and their situation is too comfortable for Rinko to move out. One day, Rinko finds out that a young girl and Isamu are attracted to each other. Now, Rinko is faced with a tough decision. (Japan Film Festival of San Francisco)
