A Story of Yonosuke

2013 · 160 min

A gentle, meandering coming-of-age story that feels like flipping through a photo album of awkward, warm encounters.

Overview: The year is 1987 and Japan is just reaching the peak of its economic success. Eighteen-year old Yonosuke Yokomichi arrives in Tokyo from Nagasaki. Ordinary in every way possible, he lives in a suburb far from the excitement of the big city and commutes to a university in the center of Tokyo.
How it feels: Warm, whimsical, melancholic and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Coming-of-age, friendship, love, identity
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
