Chika

About This Movie

Chika is a quietly haunting exploration of grief and youthful disconnection. The film captures the weight of loss through its central character, Chika, who navigates a world that feels increasingly empty after her parents' death. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to linger in her sadness, and the atmosphere is thick with a sense of longing. When she meets Yoza, the narrative takes an unexpected turn—his injury after a mishap with her is almost symbolic. It's not just about teen angst; it’s about the complexities of relationships in the face of despair. The performances carry a raw authenticity, drawing you into Chika’s emotional landscape. It's a subtle piece that lingers in your mind long after it's over.
