Mipo O

きみはいい子

Nippon Cinema   ª 

Idealistic teacher Tasuku hits a brick wall when he attempts to help a boy who is mobbed by his classmates. Young mother Masami is inappropriately strict and cold towards her daughter Ayane, due to a trauma from earlier in her life. Coming on the heels of her 2015 Oscar­nominated THE LIGHT SHINES ONLY THERE, Mipo O delivers a devastating portrayal of bullying and abuse in Japanese society.
