Forget Me Not

The story revolves around a young boy named Mamoru, who moves to Fukuoka with his mother, Michiyo, after her divorce. As Mamoru navigates his new life, he reflects on his friendship with Shinichi, a rebellious figure who defended him from bullies. This nostalgic human drama is based on a novella by Tsujiuchi Tomoki, a Dazai Osamu Prize winner.

The film explores themes of love, memory, and the challenges of growing up in a changing world. Its setting in the 1950s adds a historical layer that may appeal to collectors interested in period-specific narratives and character-driven stories.
