Children of the Sun

About This Movie

Children of the Sun is an intriguing drama from Yutaka Abe that dives deep into emotional landscapes. Seiu, at 38, finds himself married to the troubled Masako, whose past is dark and complex. There's this heavy atmosphere that hangs over the film, like a dense fog—her distant demeanor and attempts at self-harm really set a somber tone. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to sit with the weight of their struggles. The performances are raw and poignant, especially as Seiu gradually learns about Masako's past and accepts her as she is, along with her unborn child. It’s a fascinating exploration of acceptance and redemption amidst societal challenges, distinct for its focus on personal rather than melodramatic conflicts.
