MSPIFF at Rochester: Sunday, 4/19, 2:40pm
Katsuhito Ishii, a wildly adventuresome director with a very big heart, turns his attention toward the everyday failures and successes of being 9 years old. Junichi is a painfully shy third grader who can’t find the courage to return an eraser he borrowed from his secret crush. But the arrival of an unorthodox assistant teacher named Anna pushes Junichi and his friends to find the confidence to face their fears and turn them into something amazing. Hello! Junichi embraces the familiar yet magical essence of childhood with surprising humor and generous compassion.
