Hiroshi OKUYAMA
Jesus
Nippon Visions ½
Ten-year-old Yura moves with his parents from Tokyo to his grandmother in rural Japan. There, he must attend the Christian school and has to adjust to its beliefs and daily worships. Puzzled at first, he begins to believe in the power of the Lord, as a tiny Jesus appears, who seems to fulfill all his wishes. JESUS is a genuine and sensitive portrait of a boy making up his own mind about the world.
