“Sitting at an Angle” is a student project by Ayaka Kishi supported by the School of Fundamental Science and Engineering at Waseda University. Produced with an amateur crew, Kishi’s directorial debut tells a story about loss and convergence. Under the supervision of Hirokazu Koreeda (“Shoplifters” 2018) and Makoto Shinozaki (“Okaeri” 1995) the film explores the life of Tatsunori (Tomohiko Kiyota), who lives together with his mother-in-law Nobuki (Tomoko Takama) after he lost his wife, Haru. Marked by her sudden death, their already distant relationship is challenged and both of them look ahead into an unknown future.
