The Taste of Tea New Master

[Machine Translation] Director Katsuhito Ishii, whose stylish visuals in "Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl" and "PARTY7" took Japan by storm, gently tells the unique story of a family with a troubled heart against the backdrop of a beautiful rural landscape. The touching story of the Buttobi family is now available on Blu-ray for the first time in a new master version supervised by the director! --The Haruno family is a family of four, all of whom are burdened with a sense of uncertainty that they can't talk about with others. Hajime, the shy eldest son, falls in love at first sight with Aoi, a transfer student. The younger sister, Sachiko, is conflicted by the fact that sometimes a giant alter ego appears on its own. Miko's mother, Miko, a housewife, is struggling to get back to work as an animator. Her father, Nobuo, is a hypnotherapist in the countryside who feels left out by his wife. Akira is an eccentric old man who is always free. Uncle Ayano, who is unable to say a single word to his ex-girlfriend, and who comes and goes on the bridge. A peaceful story of the Haruno family, all of whom are somewhat strange, yet lovable! Leaflet enclosed (planned).
