Hanging Garden
If you stick to your story, it stops being a lie. When you get obsessed, you shut out reality.
Directed by Toshiaki Toyoda
Produced by Asmik Ace Entertainment
A melancholic domestic drama about a family bound by secrets and self-deception, where the gap between appearance and truth corrodes intimacy from within.
On the surface, the Kyobashis appear to be a happy family. Despite a family agreement that they are all open with each other, the entire household knows the opposite is true.
