The God of Curling

The God of Curling centers on Kasumi, a high school student living in a picturesque town near Karuizawa.

The backdrop of curling adds a unique cultural element, particularly in Japan, where the sport has gained popularity in recent years. The film captures the essence of determination and camaraderie in sports, making it a noteworthy addition to the genre.
