FIRST KISS | North American Premiere | Toronto Japanese Film Festival

Why we picked it

After fifteen years of marriage, Kanna and her husband Kakeru find their marriage is in a slump and are considering divorce. Suddenly Kakeru is killed in an accident. Once Kannas initial shock and pain fade she starts to consider the next stage of her life. That is until one day, driving through a tunnel, she is propelled through a time-portal. She is back at the hotel event near Mt. Fuji on the day she first met Kakeru 15 years earlier!She soon falls hard in love all over again and wants to engineer a way to save his life. But time travel and the human heart are very complicated; her attempts keep failing and she must keep returning to the past. This critical and popular hit combines comedy, romance and fantasy. By turns hilarious and heart-wrenching, it also proves that Takako Matsu is also a very engaging comedian!StarringTakako Matsu, Hokuto Matsumura, Riho Yoshioka, Nana Mori, Lily Franky2025 FIRST KISS Film Partners Dinner with your movie?Bentos will be available from a local Japanese restaruant.
