BEST FILM, Chicago International Film Festival
Acclaimed as one of the finest Japanese films of the decade, Maborosi is a
story of great love, inexplicable loss, and at last, hope and regeneration.
Haunted by the mysterious loss of her grandmother many years ago, a beautiful
young mother (Yumiko as Makiko Esumi) struggles to come to terms with the
sudden loss of her husband. Yumiko remarries and with her young son moves to
her new husband?s home in a remote village on the wild, untamed Sea of Japan.
There, with time, she awakens to find love, understanding, happiness and a
sense of peace.
