Haru tono Tabi

[Machine Translation] One day, suddenly - an old man abandoned his house. His granddaughter, Haru, followed him... The journey begins at a desolate seaside in the North Sea, which used to be rich in herring fishing, but now even a trace of it is missing. An old fisherman and his granddaughter were living a modest life together in a dilapidated house. The old man's name is Tadao, and his granddaughter's name is Haru. Haru used to work as a school lunch lady at a local elementary school, but lost her job when the school was closed. She is desperate and thinks of going to Tokyo to work, but she cannot abandon Tadao, who is crippled. Tadao, on the other hand, cannot keep young Haru, who has a bright future ahead of him, on a tight leash forever. So the two decide to set out on a journey to visit their estranged older sisters and brothers to ask them to take care of Tadao in his old age. They traveled from Masuge in Hokkaido to Miyagi in the Tohoku region, visiting relatives in Kesennuma, Naruko, and Sendai. However, each destination had its own family circumstances. Everyone was not able to take care of Tadao. Haru, who witnessed the conflicts between her grandfather Tadao and her relatives, suddenly felt a longing to see her father, and she and Tadao headed for Shizunai, Hokkaido, where her father lived.... How will the journey of a grandfather and his granddaughter turn out? This DVD includes an audio guide and Japanese subtitles.

ある日、突然――ひとりの老人が家を捨てた。孫娘、春があとを追った・・・。旅の始まりは、かつてニシン漁に湧き、今ではその面影すら留めない北海の寂れた海辺。そこのあばら家で、ある老漁師と孫娘は、ささやかな二人暮らしを続けていた。老人の名は忠男、孫娘の名は春。春は、地元の小学校で給食係として働いていたが、廃校となって失職。切羽詰って東京に働きに出ようと考えるが、足の不自由な忠男を見捨てるわけにはいかない。一方忠男も、将来のある若い春をいつまでも束縛するわけにもいかない。そこで二人は、忠男の老いの身の世話を頼むべく、疎遠となった姉兄弟を訪ねる旅に出ることにした。北海道の増毛から東北・宮城へ向かい、気仙沼、鳴子、仙台を巡って親類縁者の元を訪れる。しかし行き先々、それぞれの家庭の事情というものがあった。皆、忠男の世話どころではないのが本音だった。そんな祖父・忠男と肉親たちの葛藤を目の当たりにした春は、急に長く離別していた父親に会いたくなり、忠男と共に父の住む北海道・静内へ向かった・・・。祖父と孫娘の二人旅、その行方はいかに――。 ※このDVDには音声ガイドと日本語字幕が収録されています。
