MABOROSI is the first feature film of legendary director Hirokazu Kore-eda (After Life, Nobody Knows, Still Walking, Our Little Sister), Maborosi is a masterpiece of Japanese cinema and a powerfully beautiful meditation on love, loss, and -- finally -- hope. Yumiko (Makiko Esumi) is a vibrant and happy young wife and mother who is haunted by the childhood memory of watching her grandmother walk away from the family home, never to be seen again. When her husband dies a mysterious suicide, Yumiko is devastated by shock and grief. She struggles to care for her toddler son in the couple's cramped Osaka apartment. Some years later, mother and son travel to the home of Yumiko's new husband, Tamio, and his daughter -- a remote village on the wild, untamed Sea of Japan. In this harsh and beautiful place, Yumiko struggles with anger and guilt as she tries to come to terms with both unfathomable deaths. Tamio tells his distraught wife about the maboroshi no hikari -- phantom lights that can lure fishermen to their deaths. With time, Yumiko finds love, understanding, and peace with her new family.
