Odayaka is a fresh and award-winning take on the story we all remember from the headlines, exposing the audience to the experiences of average Japanese people in Tokyo-adjacent communities immediately following “3/11,” the earthquake and tsunami of 2011. Amid the harsh economic recession and escalating fears of nuclear fallout, Yukako and Saeko struggle against a host of social and psychological pressures that most others around them ignore. Through fluid hand-held camera work, the story takes on an intimate realism. In Japanese language with English subtitles. (HD Cam presentation)
