Japanese Girls at the Harbor

A melancholic 1930s drama about two schoolgirls whose friendship fractures when romantic desire and social circumstance intervene, set against the atmospheric backdrop of Yokohama harbor.

Set in the port city of Yokohama, two girls, Sunako and Dora who attend a Christian school, pledge to be friends. But when a youth named Henry appears on his motorcycle and offers to take Sunako for a ride, we know that this friendship won't last and that the lives of both girls will change in ways they are barely able to comprehend, and can do little to change.
