KYOTO INTERNATIONAL FILM AND ART FESTIVAL

After the death of his beloved father and his mother getting remarried, Kento (11) is dealing with loneliness in secret.
When Kento moves to a new place, he meets Susumu (79), who stubbornly continues to run a small cram school he used to run with his late wife, and becomes his last student.
Susumu was separated from his parents when he was a child, and is about to enter the last years of his life, without ever knowing his real name.
One day, Susumu invites Kento on a journey to find his true name. Susumu has a strong desire to know his true self, while Kento is dealing with the loneliness of not being able to feel his mother's love. Their problems somehow overlap, and a solid friendship that transcends generations is formed.
At the end of the journey, Susumu gives Kento "homework" for living life.
