Love At Least

2018 · 109 min

A quiet, tender look at two fragile people clinging to each other, equal parts painful and gently hopeful.

Overview: For Yasuko every day is a challenge. Due to her mental illness and hypersomnia, simple things like household chores and holding a job seem impossible. Added to the mix is an indifferent, almost distant boyfriend and an ex-girlfriend with plans to win him back.
