About This Movie

Where Are You? is a rather somber exploration of grief and desperation, centering on Ryo, a sixteen-year-old boy whose life spirals after the loss of his mother.

The performances, though understated, resonate deeply—particularly as Ryo grapples with his fractured family dynamics. There's this distinct atmosphere, a sort of quiet despair that lingers throughout. It’s not flashy; no grand effects or action, just a stark portrayal of a young man lost in the shadows of his own pain, which some may find hauntingly relatable.
