Love Life
[A] poignant study of grief and guilt.
-- Lovia Gyarkye, Hollywood Reporter
Love Life
Taeko (Fumino Kimura) and her husband Jiro (Kento Nagayama) are living a peaceful existence with her young son, when a tragic accident brings the boy’s long-lost father Park (Atom Sunada) back into her life. To cope with her pain and guilt, Taeko throws herself into helping her ex-husband, who is deaf and homeless. LOVE LIFE is a moving meditation on grief and acceptance, with a touch of humor and melodrama in the vein of Pedro Almodóvar and Douglas Sirk.
