Hiroshi Yasuoka

This movie is based on Arita porcelain and its kiln. Yui, a 14-year-old girl, lives as a single-parent family with her father Nobuo and her grandmother. Painting pictures with various colors is the only way for Yui to be herself. She never opens up to her father or friends in her day-to-day life.

Ryoko's husband forges art for a living and beats her for trying to work outside the conjugal home. Her young son mimics her husband's behavior and her mother-in-law sanity slowly disintegrates as she treks to the cemetery everyday.
