Are you someone that appreciates films? If you are, make sure you save a slot for the screening of ‘About the Pink Sky’ this coming Saturday. The film is about a highschool student, Izumi, who finds a wallet full of money and instead of returning it, she lends the cash to a friend who is struggling financially. She eventually gives it back to its owner who turns out to be a wealthy peer who realised about the lost wallet. As compensation, Izumi reluctantly agrees to help him console a friend who is hospitalized by creating a newspaper that brings joy to readers. Director Keiichi Kobayashi spins a serene coming-of-age tale that owes its underlying energy to the young cast—all of them newcomers—who show a veteran finesse for navigating quirky humour, teenage indecision and subtle shifts in adolescent consciousness. Does the storyline intrigue you yet? If yes, make sure you spare some time for the screening of this film. Last but not least, the entrance is free!
