SNOW IN SPRING by Hiroshi Toda

PUBLIC AWARD FOR BEST FILM - LYON ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL 2004

Yamamura takes in his father who has become senile since his wife’s death. But his home life gradually starts falling apart after being continually turned upside down by his father's unreasonable behaviour. One evening, at the end of his tether, he decides to abandon his father on a mountain...

The third full-length film from Hiroshi Toda, who is also a psychiatric nurse, Snow in Spring is a heartrending reflection on families and the elderly. Between realism and fantasy it takes us on a voyage which threatens to cut to the quick.
