Spatiality and memory entwined serve as a unique harbinger of emotions. In the film “Wonderwall”, directed by Yuki Maeda, pain and laughter, hellos and adieus have a physical representation, embodied and etched in a messy room, a small kitchen with cheap meals, in a common area where fantasies are broached and decisions are reached. Nothing forms a community, a collective identity and a sense of fighting for something other than oneself like a shared space and a shared story.

The shared space in this case is the Konoe dormitory, where students from a university in Kyoto since the 1900s have stayed and lived.

Cinema Today has uploaded a new trailer for the theatrical release of Sono Machi no Kodomo to YouTube.
The film is actually a re-edited version of a TV drama which aired on Nhk back on January 17th, the 15th anniversary of the Great Hanshin earthquake.
