The Japan Information Center at the Consulate-General of Japan in Chicago will be hosting a film screening of The Garden of Words directed by Makoto Shinkai. The film length is 46 minutes and is in Japanese with English subtitles.
When Takao, a high school student dreaming of becoming a shoemaker, skips school one day in favor of sketching shoes in a rainy garden, he has no idea how much his life will change when he encounters the mysterious Yukino. Older, but perhaps not much wiser, she seems adrift in the world. The two strike up an unusual relationship through chance meetings in the same garden on each rainy day. But the rainy season is coming to a close, leaving many things left unshared between them… 「言の葉の庭」シノプシス 靴職人を目指す高校生・タカオは、雨の朝は決まって学校をさぼり、公園の日本庭園で靴のスケッチを描いていた。ある日、タカオは、ひとり缶ビールを飲む謎めいた年上の女性・ユキノと出会う。ふたりは約束もないまま雨の日だけの逢瀬を重ねるようになり、次第に心を通わせていく。居場所を見失ってしまったというユキノに、彼女がもっと歩きたくなるような靴を作りたいと願うタカオ。六月の空のように物憂げに揺れ動く、互いの思いをよそに梅雨は明けようとしていた。 | |||||||
